It is about 50 days to the annual Calabar Festival, the Cross River Tourism Board and Cross River State Government, led by the Executive Governor Senator Liyel Imoke unveiled the theme of the carnival this year yesterday at a well attended event held at the main bowl of the Cultural Center.
Calabar Festival is a 32 day event held to mark the yuletide season in Calabar,
Nigeria's number one tourism destination. It is the biggest, longest
and multidimensional leisure and entertainment event in West Africa. The
theme of the carnival this year is 'Aint No Stopping Us', the unveiling
also created an ample platform where cash prizes were presented to the winners in different categories of the competition amongst bands last year.
