Let us have a glimpse of an African celebration.
The Abuja Carnival
Theme: Experience culture, celebrate life
From Iboland
It is an art form where culture is projected via entertainment. Held in Abuja, participated by different states and some African nations – where expatriates and locals alike were treated with the sights and sounds surrounding the occupational, recreational and religious life of the people. Music added flavor and rhythm to the different events at the carnival, providing insights of the African culture.
There was a Cultural Market and Exhibition at FCT Craft Village, the Masquerade Fiesta, Boat Regatta, the Poetry Night/Food Fair, the famous Durbar and contemporary musical fiesta. These events drew thousands of tourists and revelers.
Here are some pictures on the recently concluded Abuja Carnival (November 20 – 23, 2008).
