Residents of Lagelu Local Government Area in Oyo State are buzzing with excitement as the council announces its highly anticipated 2025 Christmas Carol event, set for Wednesday, December 17, at the Local Government Secretariat in Iyana Offa.
This year’s celebration marks the second edition of what is fast becoming a cherished annual tradition in the LGA, building on the success of the inaugural event held in December 2024. The initiative aims to unite the diverse communities across Lagelu’s 14 wards, fostering a sense of togetherness and holiday cheer amid the area’s rich cultural heritage.
According to a new release from the local government’s press office, the 2025 Christmas Carol promises an unforgettable evening brimming with joy and festivity. Attendees can expect soul-stirring joyful carols, a deeply reverent atmosphere of worship, beautifully adorned cherished holiday ornaments, and a breathtaking fireworks display to light up the night sky.
The event is designed to bring all Lagelu families together to revel in the timeless Christmas and New Year traditions that define the season’s magic. “Epic carols, powerful worship sessions, boundless family joy, and pure holiday enchantment await everyone,” the release enthused, emphasizing the inclusive spirit of the gathering.
One of the most delightful highlights, especially for the younger generation, will be the appearance of the beloved “Lagelu Father Christmas,” who will distribute special Christmas gifts to all children in attendance. This heartwarming gesture is poised to create lasting memories and spread smiles across the faces of Lagelu’s little ones.
As one of the 33 local government areas in Oyo State, Lagelu – with its headquarters in Iyana Offa and encompassing vibrant towns like Lalupon, Lagun, Ofa, and Ejioku – continues to promote community events that strengthen social bonds and celebrate cultural values. The Christmas Carol is expected to draw large crowds from across the LGA’s urban and rural settlements, promoting unity, peace, and the true essence of the yuletide season.
