Lagos Street Art Festival ’25

The Lagos Street Art Festival is a living, breathing canvas that turns the city into an open-air museum. Walls become stories, streets become galleries, and everyday spaces transform into places of wonder.

This celebration of creativity brings together artists, enthusiasts, and the public to experience the power of street art—not just as expression, but as a force for community and culture.

At its heart, the festival is about connection. Local artists collaborate with international creators, learning, sharing, and pushing boundaries together. Workshops and live demonstrations give young talents the chance to grow, while the public witnesses art being created in real time.

But the impact doesn’t end with the murals. This movement boosts cultural tourism, draws the world’s attention to Lagos, and leaves lasting beauty for communities to enjoy. It’s a celebration of our heritage, our voices, and our future—a reminder that public art belongs to everyone.

Lagos is more than a city — it’s a spirit. A restless, resilient, and radiant energy that pulses through every street corner, marketplace, and skyline. It’s where dreams collide with hustle, where creativity becomes survival, and where voices rise to claim space in a city that never stops moving.

This year’s theme, Legendary Lagos, City of Dreams, celebrates the city as a true melting pot of ambition and artistry. People come here to build, to imagine, to thrive—and in doing so, they add their colors to the canvas of Lagos. From the resilience of its people to the raw creativity that fuels its culture, Lagos is legendary because of the countless stories it holds.
