Beyond a celebration of the holiday season, the Enugu Christmas Festival which offers exciting events such as the “Afrobeat Concert”, “Praise Night”, Highlife Concert”, a “Street Carnival”, a “Cultural Parade”, and a grand “Fireworks Show” is a testament to Enugu State’s rich cultural heritage and its potential as a top tourist destination, while providing a perfect opportunity to unwind with family and friends.
The offerings of the festival also include the highly anticipated “Santa Street Storm”‘ where over 100 Santa Claus figures on tricycles will parade through the state, bearing gifts for orphanages and the less privileged among others.
