It's Time to Touch Grass or Touch Vibes.
Hi there,
If you’re reading this with a fresh alert from your bank app, congrats, you made it. The salary’s in. You’ve worked hard! Now’s the time to touch grass, feel the bass, and collect those vibes IRL. And Lagos is outside waiting.
The fun part this weekend is: you don’t have to blow half your paycheck. Only one event crosses the ₦10k mark this weekend, and most of the best ones? Completely free.
Whether you’re looking to shout oldies over loudspeakers at Trib3 Lagos, feel something (or someone 👀) at Fired and Iced, pose at Splash Painting Workshop, or lose your mind at South Socials, this weekend’s got options that match your vibe and your budget.
