Kamo Cultural Festival

Kamo cultural festival is a festival of unity. It is celebrated yearly by the Kamo and Awak ethnic groupings in the Kaltungo Local Government Area of Gombe State, Nigeria.

This cultural festival, whose primary aim is to unite the people of the dual ethnic grouping, is usually celebrated in the early months of the Gregorian calendar. It was held on 14th February 2026. It is a lively festival that citizens of the land would like to participate in, and anyone who fails to celebrate it is considered a sadist.

During the Kamo cultural festival, there are large displays of cultural dances from both male and female folks, as well as other competitive cultural displays like wrestling, to promote integration.

Daughters of Kamo who are married to both Kamo indigenes and outsiders use the opportunity to visit their homes with their children, where they will unite with their brothers and parents to celebrate the festival and discuss other pressing issues affecting the family.

This cultural festival is highly characterized by entertainment and merriments of various kinds.
