Lagos, Nigeria – As the holy month of Ramadan culminates in the cherished festival of Eid, Lagos Island prepares to host one of its most anticipated cultural events of the year: the Jinya EiD Fest 2025. Slated for March 31, 2025, at the vibrant Campos Mini-Stadium, this celebration promises to blend tradition, community spirit, and modern festivity into an unforgettable experience. Powered by Grey Docket, a pioneer in fostering inclusive community initiatives, the festival invites families, friends, and neighbors to revel in the essence of Eid through food, music, games, and meaningful connections.
A Festival Rooted in Togetherness
Eid al-Fitr, a time of gratitude and unity, is more than just a religious milestone—it’s a celebration of shared humanity. The Jinya EiD Fest embodies this ethos by creating a space where people of all backgrounds can gather to honor tradition while forging new bonds. “Eid is about love, reflection, and community,” says a Grey Docket spokesperson. “With this festival, we aim to amplify those values through joy, laughter, and collective experiences.”
From sunrise to sunset, the Campos Mini-Stadium will buzz with energy, offering something for everyone. Attendees can expect:

1. Culinary Delights
Food lovers will embark on a gastronomic journey with stalls serving everything from aromatic jollof rice and succulent suya to Middle Eastern-inspired shawarma and sweet treats like kunafeh. A dedicated beverage zone will feature fresh juices, traditional zobo, and artisanal mocktails.
2. Soulful Nasheed Performances
The festival stage will come alive with soul-stirring Nasheed (Islamic devotional music) performances by acclaimed artists. These melodic acts, blending traditional rhythms with contemporary flair, aim to uplift spirits and celebrate cultural heritage.
