Where Lagos
Meets the Diaspora

Lagos In Yankee is a pop-up event proudly hosted by Slymfit Concepts LLC.

Lagos In Yankee was born from a simple truth — culture does not stay behind when you travel. It travels with you, grows with you, and finds new roots wherever you land.

Now in its third edition, LIY is Maryland’s premier Afro-cultural pop-up experience. We bring together vendors, creatives, food makers and community builders to create something that feels less like an event — and more like a homecoming.

Whether you came from Lagos last year or have never set foot on the continent, this is your space. Come hungry, come curious, come ready to connect.
