Hey team, 
March is upon us and the week ahead looks vibrant. In this edition we’ve got a DJ at the market, Brass Band in the Plaza, and Carnaval Costume Parades all over the district.

🌟 In other news, Goodtimes Lagos 2025 is currently rolling off the printing press. This years edition is full of fresh new content🔥 so we’re very excited about releasing that in under a month.
In the meantime, we’re taking a little digital-detox+adventure break in the Colombian Jungle🌴🦥, so there will be no Freshly Squeezed edition next week. Sorry for that. But, check out the “coming up” section, for lots of tips for the next weeks.

Follow goodtimeslagos on Insta for updates, and find more useful tips on Goodtimeslagos.com
