Lagos Set to Host 10th Margarita Festival Africa to Boost Cultural Tourism
Lagos will host the 10th edition of Margarita Festival Africa (MFAF) on 30 November 2025, signalling growing momentum behind cultural and experiential tourism in the region. Originating in 2018 as a tequila-themed event, the festival has evolved into a regional attraction that blends cocktails, food, art, and music. Organisers expect this year’s milestone edition to draw over 1,500 attendees, underscoring Lagos’s ambition to position itself as a leading creative and tourism hub in West Africa.
The event contributes to Lagos’s cultural economy by supporting local businesses and offering platforms for mixology talent, culinary innovators, and artists. Beyond entertainment, MFAF runs social initiatives such as LimeFolk, which provides school kits and bartender training grants. With previous editions held in cities like Accra and Abidjan, the event’s cross-border presence highlights its role in shaping a pan-African lifestyle brand, boosting tourism and reinforcing Lagos’s standing in the regional festival circuit.
