October 2, 2024
Recently, FunTimes successfully hosted Nigeria’s Independence Day celebration and annual and historical observance in Philadelphia, bringing together the Nigerian Diaspora, African Americans, and others from the Caribbean and African communities. The event engaged our city and community partners, and attracted a large crowd and wide media attention from three major Delaware Valley news outlets, securing a coverage outreach of 500,000 people. High-profile events like this effectively showcase how cultural celebrations are vital in creating spaces for networking, collaboration, and cultural exchange. These efforts highlight the importance of maintaining and deepening ties between the local Diaspora and their countries of origin.
