Abstract:This article describes typical Sunday activities of the inhabitants of Lomé, with a focus on leisure activities performed in public space, like doing sport or attending religious celebrations and social gatherings. These activities are different not only from the routine concerns of the rest of the week, but also from the ways of spending one’s free time in smaller towns and villages. This is due mainly to the very nature of a big city, which, as a privileged subject of globalization processes, absorbs global modern trends and ideologies, ensures anonymity and promotes individualism. Irrespective of their social and material status, people do sport or participate in religious celebrations in various churches, sects and denominations, whose appeal depends on people’s expectations: healing, prosperity, grace, spiritual strength. Sunday provides opportunity for building a civic society, finding its outlets in many various associations which organize leisure activities for their members
