Starting October 10th, Bakadaji Hotel will unveil a brand-new weekly tradition that promises to be a vibrant celebration of local identity and artistry. Introducing Gambian Nights—an experience designed to spotlight the rich cultural heritage of The Gambia in an immersive and unforgettable way.

Held every Friday evening from 10th of October, Gambian Nights will transform the serene and stylish setting of Bakadaji into a hub of cultural expression.
