The week-long bouquet of the exciting and highly engaging activities at this year's Rivers State carnival, CARNIRIV 2012 reached a climax on Saturday 15th December 2012, when the Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi lead scores of very important personalities and hundreds of participants in two epic closing events – the Garden City Freestyle Parade and the World Peace Concert.

The event didn't fail to meet expectations as those that graced the occasion attested to the fact that a world class event was put together by the state government. There were calls for such to be replicated in other states of the federation who are yet to key into the culture of carnival.

Here are some images captured from the event attended by top Nigerian entertainers.
