Why you'll love it

Settle onto the lawns of Freedom Park, once a colonial prison and now one of Lagos' most loved cultural spaces, for an evening that blends spoken word and live jazz. Local poets take the mic between sets from a jazz trio, with an open segment for guests who want to share their own work. Food and drink vendors line the courtyard, and the historic architecture is softly lit for the occasion. It's an intimate, low-key night for lovers of words and music alike.
