About the festival
According to KCCA, the Kampala City Festival is a signature brand that draws multitudes to Kampala to celebrate culture, unity and provides immense networking opportunities for businesses.
The inaugural edition in 2014 attracted over 2 million revellers, cutting across different age groups and races.
The biggest street party in East Africa brings together all City dwellers, stakeholders and business people. It focuses on togetherness, one of the city’s oldest and richest cultural ideas.
On this fine occasion, song, dance, food, entertainment, merry making, shopping, culture and diversity are all enjoyed right in the middle of this great metropolis.
It’s a much anticipated moment for citizens to share and learn while acting as an economic engine for organisations to grow, network and prosper. It provides a platform to celebrate the many things that set Kampala apart from other cities.
