The
capital city of Cross River State, Calabar, will be in the centre of
attention on November 30, 2013, Saturday, when several Nollywood stars
led by Rita Dominic and Kate Henshaw light the Africa’s tallest Xmas
tree.
Other
stars confirmed to grace the event are Gideon Okeke and Ihuoma Nwigwe.
Top comedian, Akpororo is also billed to crack the ribs of guests.
The
event will also mark the start of the annual one month-long Calabar
Festival. The event has become a world class event, which attracts
guests for all over Nigeria and the whole world.
The
Christmas tree-lighting ceremony is definitely going to be an epic
event, which will be held at the Millennium Park in Calabar. The
Festival will be witnessed and declared open by Governor Liyel Imoke at
the Calabar Municipality Council grounds.
The
tree-lighting ceremony will be followed by the Paradise City Walk
against HIV/AIDS the next day, while the likes of Samsong, Obiwon, Segun
Obe, Kage, Nnanke and Darlene, who will be performing at the Millennium
Park by 7 p.m., are billed for the post-walk event tagged ‘World Aids
Day Charity Concert’.
The
Festival Village, according to a source in the Government House, is
being moved from its traditional ground at the Cultural Centre, owing to
the on-going construction work on the new shopping complex there.
The tourist city is already wearing new looks, in anticipation of festive events.
