As usual the State Governor, Prof (Sen.) Ben Ayade cut the tape at about 2p.m. to declare the event open, the first in his regime. It was quite colorful as the bands went through the 12km carnival route all lined up with thousands of spectators some of whom had been waiting eagerly since morning for the event.
There were crowds all over the route, some patronizing commercial sit outs by the roadside, others just on their own while many others chose to follow the bands from the beginning to the final destination at the U. J. Esuene stadium where they had their final displays before the panel of judges and also a teeming crowd.
On the route, there were adjudication points where the bands also performed and were scored by judges at such places and this were all collated to arrive at a final winner.
For 2015, the winners were Passion 4 band who returned after 3 years of loosing the coveted position to the Masta Blasta band which came third this year. The Seagull band came 2nd, Freedom 4th and Bayside 5th.
