The Lagos State Government on Thursday announced that it will kick off this year’s yuletide season with a carnival expected to draw at least one million residents.
It will be hosted in collaboration with entertainment outfit, White Star.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, said The Lagos Street Party (TLSP) will hold on December 3, 4 on Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island.
According to Ayorinde, “not less than 500,000 people are expected at the event daily which will be holding from 12 mid-day to 12 midnight.”
He said adequate security will be provided during the party.
“The street party will witness local and foreign visitors,” he continued.
“It is not to kill other carnivals like One Lagos Fiesta but to complement them.
“The street party is in line with the initiative of Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration to use entertainment in driving the state economy.”
White Star representative, Akin Akinyelure, said the street party would feature live performance from Nigeria A-list artistes and other side attractions.
“The first day of the party will feature colourful cultural parades, displays, acrobatic acts and live performances by several Nigerian musicians, including Olamide, Phyno, MI and The Police band,” Akinyelure said.
