The Edo Festival & Award is a Non-Profit organization established in 2011 in the UK. This organization is originally from Southern Nigeria, the Great Benin Kingdom (Edo State). The population of the Edo community in the UK is massively increasing each year with more Edo people making the UK their home and the edo community is one of the emerging culturally and linguistically diverse communities in the UK.
This event was created to bring Edo Sons and Daughters around the globe together to celebrate our rich culture and heritage while also recognizing inspirational individuals for their contributions towards advancing the Edo community both home and abroad.
This event will feature a ray of diverse entertainment including: A cultural troupe dance from Edo State, Stand up comedy, award presentations and also performances from high-profile artiste as well as up-coming artistes from Edo State.
Shatter the icons of slavery and fear. Replace the leer of the minstrel’s burnt-cork face with a proud, serene and classic bronze of Benin.
