In the words of the acting Commissioner for Tourism Arts and Culture Hon Adebimpe Akinsola , the carnival will herald the yuletide season in the state and will feature leading music stars such as Olamide, Salawa Abeni, Malaika, Kesh and Tope Sax among others.
She said that Lagos state is providing support for the Lagos Street Carnival designed after the popular Notting Hill Carnival London, which marked its 50th edition last year, as a way of sustaining the event.
She further revealed that “Arrangements are in place to ensure that the venue and its environs are safe and incident-free. We expect more visitors this year; so the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture is working with the police, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, the Federal Road Safety Corps, the Lagos State Fire service, and the Lagos State Waste Management Agency to make the carnival a memorable one.
