For very many years The Calabar Carnival continues to promote A wide range of African Heritage through music, dance, visuals, performances and colourful street parties that embrace the spirit of pride and togetherness.

Today the Calabar carnival is  not only the biggest street party in the whole of Africa but its also an eye opener into the talent, creativity and great minds of the people from Cross River State, Nigeria

The  Carnival continued last night for the 11th year in a row,  Co-incidentally, 11 Countries had confirmed their participation : Spain, France, Italy, Burundi Kenya, Brazil, China, Ghana, Rwanda, Belize and Burundi were on the list.

Brazil almost stole the show with exciting dances and thought provoking dance rhythms that thrilled the crowd.

Nothing could beat Nigeria’s performance. Dancers flying in the air like footballs! The kind of dancing Nigeria put down, would have been hard to beat anywhere.

There was also a lot of Beautiful, and exciting calypso. A lot of calypso has been  featured in past events but it was most Nigerian music this time.
