Afro PG has been making serious waves in Prince George. Patrick Offiah, the founder, has been interviewed by CKPG News, PG Citizen, and CFUR Radio, and the events have become wildly popular among UNBC and CNC students. If you haven’t heard about Lagos in PG yet, you’re probably one of the few who missed out on three straight sold-out nights.
The Beginning
“When I came to Prince George, there wasn’t anything like this,” Patrick says. “There were people who had done Afrobeats parties here and there, but nothing that stuck.”
So what did he do? He started Lagos in PG in February 2024, basically bringing the vibes of Nigerian nightlife to Northern BC. No sponsors. No template. Just an idea and the audacity to make it happen.
“I had to promote it like a product because we had no footage from previous events,” he explains. “I used clips from other parties to sell it.”
And guess what? Over 400 people showed up. In Prince George. For a first-time event.
“That one will always be special,” Patrick adds. “It was the first of its kind here, and seeing that crowd show up was unforgettable.”
Three Events, Three Sellouts
By the time Lagos in PG 2.0 rolled around in summer, Patrick was planning a rooftop party at The Canadian Brewhouse. In PG. Where the weather is, let’s just say, unpredictable.
“That was probably the hardest one to pull off,” he admits. But sold out? Again.
Then came Fall Fiesta in October. Another sellout. At this point, it’s not luck. It’s a movement.
“The moment that gives me chills every time is when I just stop and look into the crowd,” Patrick says. “After all the stress, ticket sales, promotions, and planning, that’s when it hits you: we really did this.”
The Real Impact
Here’s the thing that gets me: when Lagos in PG started, they had zero sponsors. By the second event? Three sponsors. By Fall Fiesta? Five.
“That shows how much the community has started believing in what we do,” Patrick points out.
And he’s not wrong about setting standards. “We didn’t overpromise and underdeliver. If anything, we underpromised and overdelivered. Right now, we’ve set the bar.”
The crowd? Electric doesn’t even cover it. “At the end of the night, they’re already asking when the next one is,” he says. “When someone buys a ticket, they’ve made an investment in the experience, and they show up ready to make it worth it.”
What’s Next?
Lagos in PG might be done, but Afro PG is just getting started. Starting next year, they’re launching “Afrobeats Till You Drop” as their new event series.
“The name just fits,” Patrick says. “Afrobeats represents us as Africans, and the idea is to dance until you drop.”
But it’s bigger than parties now. They’re planning brunch events, cultural showcases, and creative collaborations starting as early as Black History Month 2026.
“We want people to come to Prince George and know that Afro PG exists, that there’s a vibrant African-Caribbean community here that matters,” Patrick explains. “Afro PG isn’t just throwing parties; it’s creating space, culture, and connection.”
The Bottom Line
Patrick and Afro PG proved something important: Prince George was ready for this. The city needed this. And now that it’s here? There’s no going back.
“Our story isn’t ending. We’re evolving.”
This is what happens when a city’s diversity actually shows up in its culture. Patrick brought something Prince George didn’t even know it was missing, and the sold-out crowds proved the city’s energy gets better when everyone’s scene gets a seat at the table.
If you missed out on Lagos in PG, keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming in 2026. Trust me, you don’t want to sleep on this one.
