Detty December: Lagos Set To Celebrate Culture Week

The Lagos State government on Monday announced that it has concluded plans to host the 2025 edition of Lagos Culture Week, carefully designed to celebrate the rhythms, flavours, fashion, art, and the limitless creative spirit of the city’s residents.

Lagos Culture Week, a two-day event scheduled for Sunday, November 30, and Monday, December 1, in the Victoria Island area of the state, is organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture in partnership with the Lagos Cultural Mission.

Speaking about the Lagos Culture Week, the Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tourism, Culture and Arts, Mr Idris Aregbe, said the event is a vibrant celebration of Lagosians’ roots, rhythms, flavours, fashion, art, and limitless creative spirit.

He said: “Detty December just got louder, prouder, and more cultural! Lagos is stepping out in full colour as we unveil Lagos Culture Week —a vibrant celebration of our roots, rhythms, flavours, fashion, art, and limitless creative spirit.

“This is where tradition meets the now, and where Lagos shows the world that culture isn’t just preserved—it is lived, remixed, and celebrated with pride.

“Lagos is no longer about music and films alone. The city is also renowned for its rich culture, diverse arts, exceptional food, distinctive fashion, and many other aspects.

“We want to use Lagos Culture Week to re-echo that as people are preparing for December, they should also plan for some of our best action, music, movies, culture and arts for Detty December.

“We want people to come and experience the energy, feel the heritage and taste the soul of the city. This December, Lagos isn’t just vibing—Lagos Means Business.”
