The Lagos Fanti Carnival, an annual cultural festival organized by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, celebrates Lagos’ vibrant arts, music, dance, and heritage. The event typically features parades, street performances, and cultural displays, attracting large crowds of residents and tourists and often causing traffic congestion in central areas.
