Council for Igbo States in the Americas (CISA) has officially unveiled dates for the 2025 global cultural and arts festival.
The organisation which promotes the cultural heritage, unity and development of Igbos living in USA has scheduled the highly anticipated festival for July 24 and 25, 2025 in Brunswick and St Simons Island, Georgia, USA.
A statement by CISA Director Publicity and Media, Chief Mathias Mgbeafulu, made available to our correspondent, stated that the date for the event themed “Reconnecting with our Ancestors at Igbo Landing” was disclosed by its President Dr. Mrs. Uzoamaka Aguoji during CISA Governing Council meeting.
Throwing more light on the festival, Aguoji who is the first female president of the body explained that “CISA festival is a global platform for showcasing the beauty of Igbo cultural heritage, through live entertainment, delicious Igbo cuisine, arts and craft exhibitions and youths, women and men cultural performances of varying descriptions and contexts”.
She further noted that the emotional-laden reconnection and naming ceremony rituals by which African Americans of Igbo DNA are re-connected with their Igbo families remains the binding cord of the festival.
While inviting all lovers of culture to seize the opportunity to register to participate in the glamorous showcase, Aguoji emphasised that the 2025 festival which is in its 12th edition “will be a unique groundbreaking cultural exposition of Ndigbo outside Nigeria.”
