The city of Lagos will play host to a series of events that aims to promote the Nigerian Coffee Culture and Community as a whole. With the main theme: “Coffee, Culture & Community.”, this inaugural edition of the Lagos Coffee Festival sets off an annual celebration of the coffee consumption culture in Lagos, and in Nigeria by extension.

According to the International Coffee Organization, Brazil remains the largest exporter and hosts one of the 30 annual global coffee events. Lagos is set to join Addis Ababa, Cape Town and Nairobi to push forward the African agenda in the worldwide coffee market. In a bid to enhance cohesiveness on a national front, Lagos Coffee Festival 2019 presents a platform for dialogue amongst the actors in the burgeoning coffee economy in Nigeria.

Exhibitors, partners and stakeholders will showcase and engage the richness, uniqueness and versatility of the Nigerian coffee value chain through carefully curated events. There will be a guided tour to a coffee roastery in Lagos, live art performances, book readings & an exposé into all the ways in which coffee is consumed in Lagos and Nigeria.
