Annual Family Picnic & Cultural Festival
The purpose of the family picnic is three-fold:
- Fundraising: While the event is free and open to the public, we usually raise funds through the sale of T-shirts, hats, and cultural artifacts. We also conduct auction of donated items like cars, furniture, and clothing.
- To provide a day of fun-filled activities and social interaction for all of our members, their relatives, friends and associates.
- To provide free health screen to the general public in association with the national Institutes of health and Howard University Hospital.
Frequency
This is an annual event, which all of our members, friends and associates always look forward to, and it is usually held in the summer.
Venue
It is usually held at a public park and open to the public. In fact, because of the family-friendly atmosphere the event usually portrays, visitors to the park had always joined in the fun and are always welcomed.
- The next Ijebu Picnic is scheduled for July 20, 2019. Location and time will be updated.
