! Dates & prices need checkingWorth a quick call before you go. (Last year: 23 Dec 2025 – 4 Jan 2026.)
13-day Yorùbá culture festival for kids and adults: live music, drumming, dance, retro films, games, food and installations. Tickets sold out online last year but you could still pay at the gate. No 2026 dates announced yet (checked 30 Sept). The centre calls it its big Detty December event, so it's likely back.
J. Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History, Onikan, Lagos
Free and early in the month, before the traffic really kicks in.
Kids' bento cake workshop at ₦20,000 and a cake picnic at ₦30,000 on top of entry. Boxing Day weekend. Happens every year.
Proper kids' ticket, which is rare. Squad tickets work out cheaper for a family.
