Relive the highlights of ACPE’s 2025 End-of-Year Gala in Philadelphia—an unforgettable night of music, culture, unity, recognition awards, and community celebration welcoming 2026 in style.
Starting
The Cameroonian Association of Philadelphia (ACPE) didn’t just say goodbye to 2025; we celebrated our community’s spirit with an extraordinary End-of-Year Night Party that will be talked about for years to come. As heralded by our vibrant flyers, the festivity unfolded on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, within the elegant, 300-seat capacity hall at Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem, PA.
True to the invitation’s call to “Dress to Impress,” the venue was filled with stunning, glamorous attire, setting the stage for a night of elegance and pure, unadulterated fun. From the moment doors opened at 7:30 PM, the energy was electric—a perfect blend of hope, joy, and Cameroonian warmth.
The Beat of the Night
The promise of “PERFECT HITS” was delivered masterfully by DJ Manu from Delaware, whose mixes kept the dance floor packed and energized all night. The excitement soared with a captivating live performance by the talented Aline Bala, whose voice mesmerized the crowd. Laughter echoed through the hall thanks to the hilarious comedy set by Princess Thihro, and the anticipation peaked with a thrilling performance by our surprise guest artist. The music truly was the heartbeat of the party, especially as many attendees had their special requests played, making the soundtrack a personal and communal joy.
A Feast of Community & Cuisine
The evening offered a true buffet of delights. Guests mingled and toasted with provided drinks over a delicious spread of food, featuring both classic party favorites and cherished Cameroonian dishes. This culinary journey created an authentic Cameroonian ambiance where every bite felt like home.
Celebrating Our Family & Achievements
In the spirit of family, a dedicated children’s play section was a hub of giggles and joy, allowing our youngest members to have their own fun while parents celebrated. A poignant highlight was the ACPE Recognition Awards ceremony, where we paused to honor members’ dedication and achievements, toasting to our collective growth and the strong community we’ve built together.
The Grand Finale
As the night reached its peak, the entire hall united for the final countdown. When the clock struck midnight, cheers, hugs, and sparkling toasts filled the room, symbolizing our shared optimism for 2026.
This spectacular event was a testament to what we can accomplish together. We extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible performers, tireless planning committee, volunteers, and every single attendee who brought their vibrant energy.
The party was more than just an event; it was a vibrant declaration of our community’s joy, resilience, and unity. It was, in every sense, immense fun.
Here’s to the memories made and to an even brighter year ahead for the ACPE family! Stay tuned for more events where we continue to connect, celebrate, and elevate together.
Relive the Magic!
