This year's version celebrates two decades of Imagine by bringing together the usual eclectic mix of theatre, music, comedy, literature, visual art, and more, as well as highlighting the city's creativity and diversity.

She pointed out that Waterford has a well-known tradition in many facets of culture, such as theatre and music and art, "but there's a lot of hidden art that goes on" in the area. "You'd see very little of the migrant creatives and we just wanted to give them that opportunity and also for them to feel that they're part of our community. It's been a great success and we'll definitely be continuing it in the years to come.

"The group is made up of men and women from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria," its secretary Obianuju Ekedozie explained. "Our group is all about community, about integration, about good social life and about helping one another to be able to live in a community and be part of it and be able to give our best to the community we belong in.
