As several countries across the world celebrated Oktoberfest, Kampala’s beer lovers and foodies also converged at the Uganda Museum grounds to join in the festivities.
The annual event, being held in Uganda for the 5th time, is a rendition of the world’s largest beer and food festival. The German-inspired event attracted a massive turn out of lively guests buzzing in excitement at the day’s line-up of beer and food games and activities organised under My Food Network.
Revelers enjoyed a mix of German and Ugandan cultures paraded throughout the event through fashion showcases, music and most importantly food with the Guest of Honor, Dr Albrecht Conze, German Ambassador applauding the crowd for their fiery enthusiasm.
“Today, we have all experienced exciting portions of the German and Ugandan culture, the festivities and celebrations have made me nostalgic but above all, it has been an amazing Oktoberfest,” said Dr Conze.
Revelers could be seen downing beer-filled pitchers as they participated in games like the beer straw challenge, beer pong, beer glass hoisting challenge and food eating competitions with their eyes on the cash and giveaway prizes.
The evening got even better with the breathtaking performances from Qwela and the Karma Queen herself, Sheebah Karungi who had fans singing along to favourites like, “Wankona” “Nkwatako” “Silwana” throughout her performance.
Here are some photos from the event.
