The video shows some masquerades displayed at the event and dancing to traditional music at the lively event.
The masquerades were well kitted just like it is done back in Nigeria and there was no doubt that those behind the event were well prepared for the day.
Also spotted in the video were some Oyinbos in Igbo traditional attires. The nice video was credited to Chidi Iwuchukwu.
The new yam festival is a very popular time-honoured event among Igbos and it is used to usher in the harvest of new yams.
