Top 7 Things to do in Freetown in February 2026

Hello Freetownians! We are in the month of loooooooove!

Last week we bid farewell to January and its 90 days of hardship, we are now in the shortest month of the year! But I find that to be relative, as some folks find February to be long due to romantic oppression by couples showing off their gifts, trips and more with their significant others.

But this year, the air seems rather quiet. Are the lovers hard up? 🤭

It's giving broke, leh den sef blow!

7.) Ramadan & Lent 🙏🏾

This year, 2026 decided to give us the biggest collabo of all time - Ramadan and Lent!

I know this must bring joy to the hearts of thousands of Chrismus out there. 🤭

With Ramadan expected to start Wednesday, February 18 2026 - subject to the sighting of the moon of course, and Lent scheduled to start on Thursday, Feburayr 19 2026, it's a safe bet to say Freetown's nightlife will be at a standstill.

Blessings to all those who observe either holy season (or both)!

Aaaaand that's all folks!

Wishing you all a great month and Happy Valentine's Day to you all 💋

xoxo,

Mina.
