March in Lagos doesn’t come with the usual Lagos-level chaos. It’s lighter, the pressure eases a bit, and with Ramadan in full swing, the city naturally moves at a different pace. But slower doesn’t mean boring. This is the month to actually step outside and plug into culture properly, plus we’re celebrating women all month. So, if you’re looking for where the energy is gathering this month, here are the top festivals and events in Lagos worth marking in your calendar.
