Takete-Ide Day
Celebrating our culture. Strengthening our unity. Building our community.
A Homecoming and a Fundraiser
Takete-Ide Day is the community’s major annual socio-cultural festival, bringing together indigenes at home and in the diaspora. It typically takes place between October and November each year, serving both as a homecoming celebration of shared culture and as a vehicle for community-led infrastructure fundraising.
Exact dates, themes and programmes vary by year — see the event archive below for confirmed details of each celebration.
