The second edition of Capital Cultural Carnival and Sports week organised by Joluv Arts, in collaboration with Banjul Sports Committee, is set to get underway on Thursday 26 December 2013.

The week-long sports event, which is in a form of zonal competition of the capital city, will include football, basketball and volleyball.
