TRADITION COLOURS CITY'S EVOLVING PULSE

Oct 6 , 2024.


On Saturday, October 5, 2024, Mesqel Square transformed into a vibrant venue for colour and culture, as tens of thousands gathered to celebrate Irreecha, the annual Thanksgiving event. The air was filled with the joyous sounds of traditional music and festivity, as revellers adorned in bright traditional attire paid homage to their heritage. The pond on Haile Gebresselasie Rd, across from the Marriott Hotel, became the epicentre of this spectacular display of tradition, where gratitude was expressed in both song and dance. The moment of communal reflection and celebration served as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that binds the community together, as they honoured the passing of a season while looking forward to the sunny months ahead.
