Lagos Island came alive on Easter Sunday as the iconic Fanti Carnival made its much-anticipated return, rekindling the vibrant Afro-Brazilian heritage that has long been a cornerstone of the city’s cultural identity.
Held at the historic Remembrance Arcade, the magnificent parade drew crowds of residents, tourists, cultural troupes, and community leaders – all united in celebrating a tradition steeped in rhythm, pride, and ancestral legacy.
This year’s edition, themed “Heritage and Unity,” shows the cultural preservation and community cohesion in Lagos State.
