The heat is not here to play. I’ve spent the past week melting, and honestly, I’m over it. This weekend, I’m committing to one thing: drinking the coldest drinks possible, preferably with my toes in the sand.
Whether you’re trying to escape the heat or embrace it (can’t relate), here are the best events happening in Lagos this weekend.
| 1. IFEME C.S. Presents: GUEST LIST The kind of party where the guest list actually matters—so if your name isn’t on it, that’s a problem. Expect a crowd that knows how to have fun and a vibe that won’t quit. |
| 2. DOTB Lagos Edition Dawn to dusk at Tarkwa Bay? Yes, please. Sun, sand, and an energy that’ll have you forgetting whatever stress the week threw at you. Pack light, come ready. |
| 3. Disko! X Off The Leash Pop-Up When Disko! teams up with Off The Leash, you know it’s about to be a scene. Expect house beats and a crowd that actually gets it. |
| 4. EmpowerHERed Summit 2025 Women making moves, dropping gems, and owning their space. If you need motivation (or just want to network with game-changers), this is where you need to be. |
5. Flip Out & Game On
Trampolines, VR gaming, laser tag, and a whole lot of chaos; consider your inner child unleashed. Bring your A-game or prepare to be schooled. Lekki, 9 AM.
| 6. ART THERAPY - Lego Therapy Adulting is stressful, so come build something (literally). Lego, creativity, and a little mental reset—you’ll leave feeling lighter. |
| 7. Perspective With Viv: Being The Main Character If you’ve been waiting for a sign to romanticize your life, this is it. Conversations, insights, and that energy boost you need to step into your main character era. |
| 8. Slides & Shots Slides on your feet, shots in your hand, and absolutely no stress allowed. A house party with all the right elements. |
| 9. NNF PRESENTS PERAMBULATOR A night of bass, bounce, and beats that keep you moving. Don’t come expecting to stand in a corner, you won’t be able to resist the groove. |
| 10. Algorithm If your weekend were a playlist, this would be the track you put on repeat. House, Afrobeats, and everything in between. |
| 11. Afro Romcon A romance convention, but make it Afrocentric. Book readings, discussions, and a crowd that loves love as much as you do. |
| 12. Matchbox Party Red hot and unpredictable; this is not your average club night. If you’re looking for a party that does the most (in the best way), here you go. |
| 13. Silent Disco Party You, a pair of headphones, and three DJs battling for your attention. Choose your channel, pick your vibe, and get lost in your own world. |
| 14. Alchemy of Her A curated evening celebrating the essence of womanhood—think poetry, storytelling, and a vibe that just gets it. Soft life, but make it meaningful. |
| 15. DITHERING By Wolf In The Hen House Come ready to question, engage, and maybe even rethink everything. |
| 16. DANCING IN A DAYDREAM Dancing? Check. Dreamy aesthetic? Check. A Sunday evening that feels like an indie film moment? Absolutely. |
| 17. Sip and Paint + Karaoke Sip, paint, and belt out your favourite songs (bad vocals welcome). If you need a Sunday wind-down with a side of chaos, this is it. Ikeja, 1 PM. |
No matter what you get up to, please hydrate (and I don’t just mean cocktails). Lagos heat is out for revenge, so keep your drinks ice-cold and your plans even cooler.
