Third Annual Festival of Yoruba Arts and Culture @ Clissold Park Saturday 28 July

25/07/2012 By Remi Makinde

This rich cultural festival is back for a third year.

With Nigerians making up a large group of West Africans, who call Hackney home, it’s only fitting a festival celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba people should take place in in the borough.

Yoruba’s hail from the Western part of Nigeria…their native language is well … Yoruba… of course.

Enjoy an open air African Market, arts and crafts, food stalls, live music – listen to juju, afro beat, high-life and more.

A guaranteed family friendly day out. Admission is FREE.
