The story

Lagos Fringe Festival in Lagos

Lagos Fringe Festival is a recurring Lagos performing arts festival featuring theatre, stage adaptations, one-woman shows, and hands-on training programs for young creatives, documented through the participation of Nigerian actors, directors, and writers since at least 2019.

Lagos Fringe Festival occupies a distinct place in the city's cultural calendar as a home for independent and experimental performing arts, standing apart from Lagos's larger, more commercially driven entertainment events.
