Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Cultural festivals are essential for preserving and promoting the heritage and traditions of communities. In Gombe Local Government Area, Gombe State, these festivals are not only a celebration of culture but also a platform for fostering social cohesion and economic growth.

According to Adamu and Sani (2022), involving young people in planning and executing cultural festivals enhances creativity, ensures continuity, and fosters a sense of ownership.
