This Weekend’s Doing the Most (And We’re Not Mad About It)

Hey there,

Some weekends are for rest. This one? Not even close. It’s giving nonstop.

From dance classes to seafront adventures, house parties, sound raves, a trip around Abeokuta, and art therapy, this weekend is packed and it’s daring you to keep up. Whether you’re chasing sun, sounds, or something spontaneous, there’s more than enough to fill your calendar (and your camera roll).

We’ve lined up 15 standout events, and none is similar to the others, so you can go all out without getting bored.

Let’s get into it.

Friday

1. Illusion House Party
This isn’t just a party. It's an illusion. You will pull up to a night of neon lights, thumping bass, and reality-bending vibes where nothing’s quite what it seems (except the good time).

SATURDAY

2. Her Mobility – Dance Class
Start your Saturday with a body roll and a breath check at Her Mobility. A dance class that blends movement, music, and mindfulness? Why not?

3. Soundcheck: Made In Lagos
Beach air, breakout acts, and Lagos heat—Soundcheck is bringing grassroots talent to the shoreline, and I’m heading down for good music, cold drinks, and barefoot vibes. It’s free, but the memories won’t be.

4. RaveOween V
Rave but make it twisted! RaveOween V is back with costumes, chaos, and beats that don’t sleep. I’m going mask-on, bass-up, and dancing like I’m trying to escape a haunted house. After Soundcheck, of course.

5. Wet. Wild. Wacko. Pool Party
It’s called Wet. Wild. Wacko. for a reason. Think cannonballs, cocktail-fueled chaos, and the kind of party that starts tame and ends in soaked sneakers. Bring your swimwear and your unhinged alter ego.

6.  Fishing Day By Orange Island
At Fishing Day by Orange Island, you can trade your usual weekend buzz for boat rides and peaceful bites. It’s calm waters, cold drinks, and quiet flex energy all around.

7.  ART THERAPY – Tote Therapy
It’s paint, peace, and personal expression at Tote Therapy. Show up for a guided art session where you turn blank totes into walking moodboards—and maybe unpack some emotions while at it.

8.  ZENERGY
Late-night energy with a mindful twist! ZENERGY fuses good vibes, house beats, and wellness elements that lift your spirit and sneakers. It’s giving calm chaos, and we are here for it.

SUNDAY

9. WHO IS CHISOM?
It’s giving mystery, music, and main character energy. Who Is Chisom? isn’t just a show. It’s a journey through storytelling, soul, and serious talent. I’m grabbing a seat to find out what the buzz is really about.

10. Archives Launch Party
Sundays are for soft launches and loud games. Archives Launch Party is mixing cocktails, consoles, and card games in one vibe-heavy hangout of culture and competition.

11. HOUSE OF NAIRA
Four wives. One husband. A whole lot of culture. House of Naira is a modern Nigerian musical packed with rhythm, humour, and high-stakes family drama. Think epic storytelling meets powerhouse performances from the creators of Saro and Fela and the Kalakuta Queens.

Not In Lagos? Check These Out

Friday

1. MAIO LIVE – The Buj Picnic
Picnic blankets, live sets, and that golden hour glow; MAIO LIVE is serving soul and sunshine in the city. If you're in Abuja, head to Sync Hub for chill tunes, cool people, and a soft Friday flow that hits just right.

Saturday

2. Rated MD
Rated MD is bringing that no-skip, dancefloor-locked energy to Eclipse Lounge, Gwagwalada this Friday. Suit up for late-night grooves, DJ madness, and an Abuja-style party with no dull moments.

3. Abeokuta Trip With Kindred
Kindred’s Abeokuta Trip is about a weekend reset with heritage in view. The history, hiking, art, and connection are enough to trade traffic for rock climbs, cultural stops, and memory-making with kindred spirits.

Sunday

4. Rehash – Afro House in the Capital
Day party, deep cuts, and Afro House on blast; Rehash is bringing sonic therapy to Abuja. Dance through the daylight with a cocktail in hand and zero responsibilities until Monday.

That’s your weekend, stacked and sizzling.

It's a wild mix from fishing on calm waters to raving in costume, beachside performances, and art therapy in sunlit studios. And somehow, it all makes perfect sense. 

The real ones are outside this weekend. So go where the vibe pulls you. Try something new. Show up solo or roll in with the crew. Just don’t sit this one out.

See you outside,
Israel.
