Events in Nigeria Today — Concerts, Exhibitions & Things to Do
A comprehensive directory of upcoming events across Nigeria — concerts, music festivals, comedy shows, art exhibitions, tech conferences, business meetups, food festivals, sports events, and cultural celebrations. Search by city, filter by category, and discover what's happening near you this weekend or in the coming weeks.
What kinds of events are listed?
We aggregate event listings across categories Nigerians actually attend: music concerts and Afrobeats shows (also tracked on The Marquee), stand-up comedy at venues like Terra Kulture, Eko Hotel, and Hard Rock Cafe, tech and startup events (Tech Trends, Lagos Startup Week, conferences from TechCabal/Future Africa), art exhibitions at galleries in Victoria Island and Ikoyi, business networking events, and major cultural celebrations like Felabration, AFRIFF, and the Calabar Carnival.
Find events in your city
Lagos hosts the bulk of major events but Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Calabar, Enugu, Benin, Owerri, and Kano all have active event calendars. If you've shared your city, events near you appear first. Otherwise use the filter to narrow by location, date range, or category.
Where does this data come from?
Event data is sourced from ticketing platforms (Ticketgateway, Tix.africa, Eventbrite Nigeria), venue announcements, official festival calendars, and partner submissions. Past events are automatically removed. If you spot a missing event or want yours listed, reach out through the feedback form.
