With a focus on fostering unity and celebrating creativity, the festival brings together diverse cultures through art, music, dance, and festivities.
This year’s theme, “Our Shared Prosperity,” highlights the spirit of collective growth and collaboration that underpins the festival’s mission.
The Calabar Carnival, a vibrant display of Nigeria’s rich cultural tapestry, attracts thousands of visitors and participants from across the globe.

“Our partnership with the Calabar Carnival and Festivals reflects Nigerian Breweries’ dedication to nurturing platforms that celebrate the vibrancy and creativity of Nigerian culture,” Bassey said.
“This sponsorship also serves as an opportunity for us to connect more deeply with our consumers while fostering unity and pride in our heritage.”
Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu, expressed excitement over the expanded offerings of this year’s carnival, noting the importance of unity and collective prosperity in the festival’s programming.
“We are thrilled to present an even greater array of activities, as we come together to celebrate our shared prosperity,” Otu said.
Mary Ephraim-Egbas, CEO of Okhma Global Limited, the official brand marketing company for the carnival, praised Nigerian Breweries for its ongoing support.
“Nigerian Breweries’ support highlights the core values of our shared prosperity. Their contribution not only strengthens the festival’s global appeal but also enhances their position as a brand that deeply values cultural heritage,” Ephraim-Egbas stated.
The festival’s organisers also recognised the vital role Nigerian Breweries has played in the event’s continued success. Gabe Onah, Chairman of the CRS Carnival Calabar Commission, acknowledged the company’s unwavering support, which has helped bring the festival’s vision to life.
“Nigerian Breweries has consistently played a pivotal role in bringing the vision of the Calabar Carnival to life,” Onah said.
“Their steadfast support ensures the festival’s success while showcasing Nigerian culture on the global stage. This partnership exemplifies the essence of Our Shared Prosperity, where collective action brings lasting impact and unites communities.”
