South Socials on the Beach

Everyone loves South Socials. Despite departing the old South Socials building, it has been firing on all cylinders especially under the vision of its convener and host, Chibby. The event has become more adventurous and daring, elevating party-going stakes particularly with their beach events.

It’s no different this time, urging us to dress to impress, seaside sophistication. It’s also a code for debauchery. Live DJ set from Boy Niino and Kazebleek. And don’t forget: what happens in South Socials, stays in South Socials.

Eko Marche by TKD Farms

Aside from their standalone farmers’ market where fresh farm produce are sold, TKD Farms have been quite the chief curator of food pop-ups. Whether it’s their pop-up kitchen with a slew of chefs, or angling their farmer’s market as a mini, intimate festival, the common denominator is food.

With Eko Marche, they are taking the buzz and vibrancy of Lagos and turning it into a night market. Shop pre-loved items, clothes, accessories, arts and crafts and taste delicious meals from vendors on display. For flavour, there will be a live band and DJ too.
