This carnival used to be what everyone looked forward to by December. I remember working for BaySide Band then owned by Donald Dukesl's wife. I'm not sure they can match that feat again.

In 2014 one of my friends got a contract to make costume for that Bayside band, we traveled to Calabar to do the costume only for them to reject it on the eve of the carnival. My man cried and we had to travel back to ABA without any payment. The thing pain me wella

The carnival pose a major threat to our year old Xmas villa. Last year we attracted mammoth crowd to the event but that might change this year with the return of Calabar carnival.
We're optimistic and still hoping for the best though

I don't think it's enough to bring back the CARNIVAL alone. The state government should do more to return Cross River to the glory days!

Work on the neglected areas - Environment, Tourism, Urban Development, and Agriculture!

The commissioner for culture and tourism development in Cross River State, Eric Anderson, has said that the Calabar Carnival, will return after a two-year break.

Anderson made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.

After a two-year break caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the carnival is set to start from December 1 to 31.

The carnival will now have seven competing bands up from five. Also there will be different song and stage productions, award ceremony, choreography, music, power week, bikers day, beauty pageant, street parties, beach soccer, old school parties, among others during the carnival.

He said, “Cross River is among the committee of carnival producers in the world. Carnivals were shut down worldwide in the last two years because of COVID-19.

“As we speak, carnivals worldwide have started production, and we can see that the Covid-19 protocols have been relaxed. As a member of the committee, we feel we should also resume as well. Tourism is one aspect of culture that has put Cross River on the World Tourism Map.”

You mean he stopped the carnival for two years abi COVID-19 stopped the carnival?

Akwa Ibom didn't host theirs during the same period. Should we also blame Emmanuel, the governor of Akwa Ibom?

I think it was largely due to lack of money. If carnival took place last year. It would have been a bomb.

This year wouldn't be so good because there is little money in circulation.
