The story

LibFest Liberia in Monrovia

LIBFEST is Liberia's first national tourism festival, launched with a carnival parade from Monrovia City Hall to the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex during the country's bicentennial. The multi-day event combines vendor markets, ecotourism exhibitions, music, dance, wrestling, and investment workshops to showcase Liberia's culture and tourism potential.

LIBFEST launched as Liberia's first-ever annual, national, all-inclusive tourism festival, conceived to celebrate the country's landscapes, historical sites, resources, and cultural discoveries in a single unified showcase rather than leaving tourism promotion scattered across smaller, disconnected events.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

LIBFEST's distinguishing feature is its explicit dual mandate as both a cultural celebration and a tourism-investment tool, pairing carnival-style festivities with an ecotourism exhibition and an investment workshop aimed squarely at attracting capital and attention to Liberia's tourism sector

02

The mystery stays covered

Its founding tied to the country's bicentennial under the Pan-Africanism and Freedom theme gives the festival a historical anchor distinct from a purely commercial tourism showcase, positioning it as a nationally symbolic event as much as a promotional one
