As the festive season heats up in the heart of Cross River State, excitement is building for the return of FunFest Calabar — the city’s premier youth festival set to redefine Detty December. Happening Thursday, December 18, at the iconic U.J. Esuene Stadium, this year’s edition, tagged #FunFest25, is gearing up to be bigger, better, louder, and charged with ten times the energy. It’s a gathering built for young creatives, music lovers, and party enthusiasts ready to celebrate the best of Calabar’s vibrant culture.

FunFest has earned its place as a key fixture on Calabar’s cultural calendar. What started as a high-energy hangout has grown into a full celebration of youth empowerment, entertainment, and community spirit. In partnership with the iconic Calabar Festival—often called Africa’s Biggest Street Party—the event brings together electrifying performances, immersive activities, and the kind of shared experiences that turn into lifelong memories.

Last year’s edition still lives rent-free in the minds of those who were there. Surprise guest appearances lit up the stage, and a seamless fusion of music, dance, and cultural showcases kept the atmosphere buzzing into the early hours. With Demfati once again powering the ticketing and event management, attendees can expect smooth operations from start to finish.

If you're a young trailblazer looking to plug into something unforgettable, this is where you want to be.

Early-bird tickets drop soon—don’t miss out. Follow @funfestng on Instagram for updates, grab your spot, and join the movement. FunFest isn’t about the ordinary. It’s about moments that stick with you long after the lights go down.

Calabar, get ready to turn all the way up.
