Ethnogala

Ethnogala is a neologism, a newly coined word, formed from the combination of the prefixes "ethno-" meaning relating to a particular ethnic group or culture, and "gala," a festive celebration or special public entertainment. Therefore, "ethnogala" conceptually refers to a formal or grand celebration that showcases, promotes, or commemorates the traditions, arts, and culture of a specific ethnic group or community.

An ethnogala may involve elements such as traditional music, dance, food, clothing, storytelling, and other artistic or cultural performances that represent the featured ethnicity. The event can serve as a platform for cultural preservation, education, and community building. It may also function as a fundraising opportunity for ethnic organizations or cultural initiatives. The purpose of an ethnogala often includes raising awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity within a larger society.

While not yet a widely recognized or established term in common parlance, its meaning is readily understandable based on the established definitions of its component parts. The usage of "ethnogala" implies a deliberate intention to highlight a particular ethnic group's cultural heritage in a celebratory and often formal setting.
