I was in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria for the 2022 Carnival! And saying I had mad fun is an understatement 😃😃.

I don't know how carnivals are done in your country or in other countries. But in Calabar it is done like this: 7 or so bands come out with costumes and dances reflecting the year's theme. They dance on the streets through about half of the city! There are judges in many parts of the city who would grade them and a winner is announced the next day.

People flood the city to watch, everywhere looks great and the energy becomes insane!

Here are photos from this year's carnival. The theme was "Agricultural Industrialization".
