New Year's Eve in Lagos: What Actually Happens and Why It's Worth Staying

New Year's Eve in Lagos — Passagem de Ano — is a significant night. Nininho Vaz Maia headlines at Praça do Infante from 23:00. The concert is free. Fireworks launch at midnight from the waterfront. Bars run until 5 or 6am.

Accommodation for New Year's Eve books out early — by October for the better properties. Temperature averages 14-16 degrees. Bring layers. The energy is genuine enthusiasm, not obligation.
