Freshly Squeezed 〜 July 14–20

What's on in Lagos Portugal this week.

Hello fine friends,
So this week, we thought we’d let AI write the newsletter for us. We spent a whole day configuring an automated process to collect the content, summarise it, format it and plug it into our newsletter draft... Which we thought it was genius💡. Until we got the result 😂.
We were tempted to send out the newsletter that AI🤖 made for you, but unfortunately, none of the events actually existed, or all the details were wrong😅. It might have been a laugh, but there are so many 🔥🔥 (real) events happening in Lagos this week, we didn’t want you to miss out.

Soooo, made with a lot of love 💖 by an actual human, here are our top pics for the week:

  • 🌅 Duna Beach Sunset Parties are finally here, with a HUGE line up

  • 🎤 Sofar Sounds concert in a secret garden

  • 🌊 An inspiring film premiere

  • 🎸 Rock Concerts - one from the local school, another in the Art Lab

  • 🌞 A new Duna Beach Summer market Pop-Up

And remember…
AI will tell you exactly what you want to hear, but it probably isn’t the truth 😣😅
