The Badagry Festival began its humble beginnings in 1999, as a remembrance for the slave trade era and the significance of the town in the era. Annually, on the 3rd week in August, hundreds of thousands of people converge at Badagry, Lagos. Nigeria to be part of the action that is The Great Badagry Festival. Badagry is completely transformed and is filled with fascinating sights, smells and sounds as hundreds of fine artists, musicians, dancers, exhibitors and food vendors take part in this one week celebration.
