The New Yam festival is celebrated by the Igbo people at the end of rainy season in the early part of August. The "Iwa ji festival" or "new-yam eating" is usuallly done in West Africa particularly Ghana and Nigeria.

Sept 18 2009, in Asaba, but usually held in the beginning of August.
... this event already happened? or are you talking about a different yam festival?
