Olá Olá my friends!
Its peak summer, the streets are full, and so is Lagos’ calendar. Arte Doce is buzzing NOW until the closing party tonight. Wednesday brings Duna Beach Sunset Party round two (still a few tickets, be quick!), Listening room Vol.4 is here, Filarmonia na Praia brings live music by the sea in Luz, and on August 1 the Lagos book fair takes over Praça do Infante for eleven nights of books, fado, jazz and open-air everything.
