Activities at the Jos Family Christmas Festival 3.0 continue today, December 26, with two standout attractions — a Drive-In Cinema experience and an ambitious attempt at the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the Longest Painting.

The Drive-In Cinema is expected to offer a fresh and relaxed way for families and friends to enjoy movie screenings from the comfort of their vehicles, adding a modern twist to festive entertainment at the Christmas Village. The experience is designed to create a calm, safe, and enjoyable environment for attendees seeking something different this holiday season.

Alongside the cinema experience, artists and creatives will participate in the Guinness World Record attempt for the Longest Painting, showcasing endurance, creativity, and collective artistic expression. The painting activity is set to draw public interest as it highlights Jos and Plateau State’s growing reputation for hosting innovative and large-scale creative projects.

Organisers say the combination of film, art, and record-setting ambition reflects the festival’s vision of blending entertainment with cultural and creative development. The event is also expected to attract art lovers, families, and visitors eager to witness history in the making.

The Jos Family Christmas Festival 3.0 runs daily until December 31, delivering diverse entertainment and memorable festive experiences across Jos.
