CALABAR CARNIVAL - THE BIGGEST STREET PARTY IN AFRICA

CALABAR CALABAR CALABAR!!! 

................

This annual festival is held in Calabar Nigeria. It is a festival 

which celebrates African heritage and blends culture with fun. The 

festival showcases African heritage through its use of music, 

beautiful costumes, vibrant make up and floats. 



The festival takes place towards the end of December going into the 

new year. It is a fantastic place to go to have fun as it provides a 

good atmosphere filled with energy and joy. 

This festival is highly anticipated in Africa and tends to have 

people from different countries in attendance. We recommend from

previous experience booking well well in advance as hotels,tickets 

and things of that nature can become very expensive closer to the 

date due to the high demand.

Such a festival allows for adults and children alike to enjoy and 

participate; since we were young we loved attending as we were 

fascinated with the colours and outfits that we saw. Now as adults 

we appreciate the festival much more and also take interest in the

other amazing attractions in CALABAR such as OBUDU CATTLE RANCH 

(WHICH WE THINK SHOULD BE ONE OF THE 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD). 

The splendour of colour that is displayed during the festival can 

leave you in awe of the richness of African culture. The uniqueness 

of each outfit highlights the great work that goes into this 

festival.  The festival shows how the men and women who participate 

in making this magic toil very hard through the year; it is truly 

worth attending. 

PREP FOR DECEMBER --- YOU MIGHT SEE US THERE ;)
