Poetry

This has become the trademark Ake Festival sign-off event and a firm favourite with the audience, with guests in high spirits. After four intense days of books, mingling and chatting with creatives, guests and friends, we gather to be entertained by poets, musicians and spoken word artists, all with a cup of freshly- tapped palm wine in hand. The hall is abuzz, the mood is lively, and the poetry is moving and powerful.

For us, there is no better way to bid farewell after an incredible outing.
