FAB, Food & Beverage West Africa, takes place at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria, with its 2027 edition scheduled for June. It is one of West Africa's key trade exhibitions for food, beverage, hospitality and food-processing, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, importers, retailers and hospitality buyers from across the region and beyond. The show fills the Landmark Centre with exhibitors and trade visitors over its multi-day run, serving as a significant sourcing and networking platform for the region's food and hospitality sector. Victoria Island is Lagos's main business and hotel district, and demand for rooms there and on neighbouring Ikoyi rises around the fair, with rates climbing steadily as the dates near and business travellers converge on the island. Those who book late may end up on the mainland, adding lengthy bridge crossings to every trip. Given Lagos traffic, staying close to the venue on Victoria Island makes a real difference to your day. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from the Landmark Centre, so you can see exactly how close each property sits before you commit.

Where to eat during FAB — Food & Beverage West Africa
Trade-fair days run at Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island, but every serious business dinner happens across the bridge on Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Lekki, where the corporate hotels sit. Budget 15-25 minutes by car to VI/Ikoyi and 30-60 to Lekki depending on the notorious Lagos traffic, so book a driver and leave early.

Getting there
From Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS)
- Lagos's international airport (LOS) is on the mainland in Ikeja; the drive to Victoria Island can take anywhere from about an hour to well over two depending on traffic.
- Arrange a hotel transfer or a pre-booked car in advance rather than relying on hailing at the airport.
- Travel in daylight where possible and confirm your pickup details before you land.
Getting around during FAB — Food & Beverage West Africa
Getting to the venue and around Lagos
- Victoria Island is compact, and the Landmark Centre is a short ride from most island hotels, though traffic can still be heavy.
- Use pre-booked cars, hotel transfers or the Uber and Bolt apps rather than street taxis for reliability.
- Build in generous time for any cross-city travel, as Lagos road congestion is significant, especially at peak hours.
Visa & entry
Entry guidance for Nigeria
- Most nationalities require a visa to enter Nigeria, and the country operates an e-Visa and visa-on-arrival scheme for eligible business travellers arranged in advance.
- Business visitors typically need supporting documentation, and yellow fever vaccination proof is commonly required for entry.
- Apply through the official channels well ahead, as processing and approvals take time.
Entry requirements change and depend on your nationality, so verify the current rules and any health requirements with the official Nigerian government or nearest embassy or consulate before booking travel.
First time at FAB — Food & Beverage West Africa?
