The Adire carnival is a cultural event organised to promote Nigerian/Yoruba cultural heritage, tourism, trade, and to foster a friendly relationship between Nigerian and our host county in diaspora. This International Adire Carnival is organised every two years as part of the Nigerian cultural festival in Vienna, Austria. The Adire carnival was first organised in June 2013 in Vienna, Austria. The maiden edition was in collaboration with the Nigerian Embassy in Vienna, Austria under the leadership of her Excellency Ambassador Maria Laose who coincidentally was from Abeokuta, Ogun state of Nigeria.
