HITFM PRESENTS

THE CALABAR
ENTERTAINMENT CONFERENCE AND FESTIVAL

Ten years ago, Hit FM walked into Calabar with a big idea: Give the south south a stage it truly deserves.
We’ve hosted legends like 2 Face Idibia, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Don Jazzy and a lot more.
We’ve launched careers at our Calabar Entertainment Conference.
It has morphed into a FESTIVAL and in our year TEN we’re going all the way.
Come with us!

What is CEC?

More than a festival.
A movement.

The HIT FM Calabar Entertainment Conference & Festival is Nigeria’s premier creative industry gathering in the South-South a two-day collision of bold conversations, live performances, food, music, games, and the energy that only Calabar can produce. For a decade we’ve been the space where entertainers find their footing, creatives find their tribe, and Calabar finds its place on the national map.

CEC is the tenth edition. Bigger lineup. Bigger conversations. One unforgettable milestone for every person who has ever shown up, tuned in, or dared to dream in this city.

Music. Games. Food. Drinks.
Performers you’ll never forget.
Vendors you’ll empty your wallet for.
A crowd that shows up dressed, ready, and fully alive.

This is what ten years of building looks like when it all comes together in one afternoon. You either lived it or you watched everyone else’s posts.
