💡 Traveler Tips

📆 How to Stay Updated

Follow these Instagram, Tiktok, and Telegram channels to get up to date information on events in Addis.

However, keep in mind that word of mouth works best in Addis. So make sure to go to some events and make friends. You will discover many more events this way. Also ask at your hotel front desk or Airbnb host to find things that you may not find online.

Social Media accounts to follow

Tiktok is the most used platform and it is where you will find the most events advertised. There's a tendency to use Amharic but you can usually get enough context in English in the description and comments.

Venues

These venues put together a lot of fun events. Some of them have scheduled events throughout the week. Follow them on their socials.

Bazaars

A great way to discover small local businesses is to check out bazaars. You'll usually find activities, games, music, food, drinks. There are bi-weekly and monthly recurring bazaars as well as others that happen randomly. Keep an eye out to see and support local products.
