Sukuta Dembadu Carnival & Cultural Festival
1 March 2025
Sukuta Dembadu Carnival and Cultural Festival is to recognize, celebrate and appreciate all aspects of the Kombo culture. Sukuta Sabiji as the oldest settlement that leased the Island of Banjul to the British, safeguards the intangible cultural heritages of the people of the Kombos.
The Festival provides a platform for the locals to express their intangible cultural heritages like dance, drumming, songs, masquerades and storytelling under a Bantaba tree near a makeshift museum that showcases their cultural artefacts.
