Yep!
The Calabar Carnival is held annually on the 28th of December in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. That's in the South-south part of Nigeria.
It's a really beautiful sight to behold. Traffic is stopped, people flood to the streets to watch, hangout, have a good time and different large organized groups of dancers called bands dance through the streets and a band is announced as the winner when it's all over.
