Sobre este Tip
KADIFF, the Kaduna International Film Festival, is an annual five-day event held in Kaduna in late August, with editions reported for 2023, 2025 and 2026. It gives you a cultural reason to visit in the rainy season, so pack for wet weather. Check the festival's official channels for that year's venue and programme. Pair it with a morning at the Kaduna Museum or Arewa House, both named as tourism stops in coverage of the 2025 edition. Book your room early.
