Our Homecoming (also referred to as Homecoming or Homecoming Festival),[1] is an annual three-days music, fashion, sport, and arts festival in Lagos, Nigeria. It has been founded by Grace Ladoja, as a community under Metallic Inc. The platform was established for cultural exchange, sharing African creativity with the world as a way of connecting international creatives from Africa in the diaspora back to the motherland (Nigeria "Africa"). The festival provides a venue for workshops, football pitch, art museum, live bands, DJs, and musicians.
The festival is yearly supported by The NATIVE, Vivendii, Off-White, Browns, Patta, Ambush, Stüssy, and Nike.[2][3][4] In 2019, UBA Group partnered with Homecoming to celebrate its Easter Festival in Lagos.[5][6] The Homecoming matches kicks-off annually at Astro2000 Ikoyi, and the Cup was won by The Native team in 2018 and 2019,[7] and International Girl Crew team won the 2020 cup.
