Dayfari Editors' Picks
Oct 02–Oct 04 · Dar es Salaam
We do this every week: read through everything happening in Dar es Salaam, cross out the filler, and keep the stuff worth leaving the house for. This weekend (Oct 02–Oct 04) gave us 5 events to choose from. These are the keepers.
5 venues are hosting something this weekend, which tells you everything about how busy Dar es Salaam gets when October rolls around. 1 of the weekend's events are free.
If you're deciding between Friday and Saturday: Saturday wins on sheer volume (3 vs 2), but Friday has the pick of the arts crowd. Your call.
