Habesha New Year Expo Opens at Exhibition Centre

Habesha New Year Expo 2008/2015 has kicked off at the Addis Abeba Exhibition & Market Development Enterprise Centre aka Exhibition Centre.

This annual event is expected to attract up to 500,000 visitors in the days between August 22 and September 11, 2015.Habesha Weekly won the bid to organize the programme at a cost of 9.5 million Br.

The Expo will feature 400 local and foreign exhibitors in the 23,000sqm centre with three pavilions. This year’s programme includes concerts featuring renowned artists, comedy and the award of raffle prizes.

Habesha also organised the 2015 Christmas Bazaar, when no winner appeared to accept the automobile prize. The vehicle was therefore given to the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and handed over to a representative of GERD’s Construction Public Participation Council.

Walia, Dashen, Meta, and St. George breweries are the platinum sponsors of the event; Anchor Milk is the lone diamond sponsor and gold sponsors are Guna, Yoye Two 7 Car Rental and Weget Construction.
