Oh yes, it's Christmas again and who knows how to celebrate Christmas better than Calabar. The Cross River state government is perhaps the only state that celebrates Christmas in grand style and perhaps the only one that fully recognizes the importance of Christmas.
Come the week preceeding Christmas of every year there's a celebration going on called Christmas carnival. It is annual event that is being held in this already beautiful city. Calabar is known for its beautiful and serene environment
It was always a tourist state but on Christmas, the city becomes more beautified just to celebrate the importance of that day.
The Calabar Christmas carnival is normally held for a period of 30 days in the Christmas period and includes a list of activities some of which are dancing groups, displays from various Local councils, musicians and other events. This is a day of fun and merry all filled with excitement and of course with prayers to carry the day.
It is not just for people living in Calabar but this day has seen a lot of people from the north and southern Nigeria as well as white foreigners too.
This year's event will feature a list of international artistes which will include Keri Hilson expected to perform on the 21st of December. Storm records are mostly in charge of this year's muscial event and expected to feature also are Wyclef, Naeto C and Sasha. It is an exciting Christmas festival and you need to be there
