Guests enjoyed a vibrant celebration featuring musical and cultural performances from Irish and Scottish artists (Nate, Colm Conneely, Ronan Kennedy) as well as Nigerian acts (Sunday Okpo & Solemn Sounds, Bendancer, DJ Raybee Browne), all while experiencing the rich heritage and smooth taste of Guinness.

“Our Partnership with Bature Brewery, Lagos to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is a reflection of the fusion of our Irish roots with our rich Nigerian heritage said Ife Odedere, Category Lead for Guinness Trademark.
