THE BENUE CARNIVAL

Benue Carnival is a cultural carnival and an annual event that began five (5) years ago. The event is a celebration whereby Benue indigenes are allowed to showcase their God given talents to the world. Individuals or groups who perform credibly are awarded prizes and selected based on merit for sponsorship to represent the state in cultural events in Nigeria and beyond.
Culture is a veritable tool for social and economic development. The main vision of this event is to integrate the various cultural behaviors in the state with those of other ethnic groups from other parts of Nigeria and nations at large.
