Kampala FestivalThe Kampala Capital City Authority on 15th/July/2013 announced the date, programme and layout of the all new Kampala City Festival that is scheduled for 6th October, 2013 in Kampala City.

The Kampala City Festival which replaces the Kampala city carnival 2012 will become a much anticipated moment for citizens to share and learn, while acting as an economic engine for organizations to grow, network and prosper.

The Festival’s theme this year is ‘Our City. Our Celebration’ and will be a platform to celebrate the many things that set Kampala apart from other cities.

Speaking during the launch, Jennifer Musisi, KCCA’s Executive Director said, “We have a great history in Kampala that is known to the world over and the Festival will be recognition of that rich heritage. It is also a great opportunity for Uganda to show the world that we truly are a Centre of excellence and The Pearl of Africa.”

Having been upgraded to the Kampala City Festival, the event promises to be even bigger and better and it will now be a regular event bringing together all city dwellers, stakeholders and the business community.

What began as a vision to bring the people of Kampala City together to celebrate Uganda’s 50 years of Independence has turned into an explosive event that’s not to be missed. It will be a platform to celebrate diversity, richness and culture of the local communities who are part of a solid and common future for Kampala that is constantly moving forward. The Kampala City Festival will consist of a programme of over 200 events that cross the worlds of business, fashion, art and culture, entertainment, technology and industry to engage the whole family and general public.

“For a day, we will transform Kampala into one of the world’s greatest adventure for all. It is a chance to celebrate, support and find out more about our wonderful city and we would like as many people as possible to get involved and attend the Kampala City Festival 2013,”said Musisi.
