The Nigerian Festival UK is a day-long event to showcase, acknowledge, celebrate and preserve the cultural richness and unique heritage of current and future generations of Nigerians living in the United Kingdom. Its existence is deeply rooted and inspired by the need to bridge the cultural gaps amongst Nigerian/ African youths and adults who have not had the opportunity of learning the customs and traditions of their motherland due to being far away from home.
The Nigerian Festival UK is organised by Ebony Ambassadors and Nigerian Students’ Union UK.
Ebony Ambassadors is a community interest company whose activities bring communities together through Art, Culture, Skills Empowerment Workshops, and mental resilience workshops, Festival, Award Ceremony and Miss E.B.O.N.Y Creativity Contest.
