A new festival aimed at bringing together people from Eastern Uganda has been launched. Dubbed the “Eastern Mega Fest”, it will be held on Sunday, October 7th at Naguru Hill Top Gardens.
According to the organizers, the show is being organized to celebrate the rich heritage and cultures of all the tribes in Eastern Uganda.
“It will feature all the cultural aspects that symbolize the heritage of tribes in the East. Starting from the Source of the Nile in Jinja, to the Elgon Mountains of Mbale, Tororo Rock and the beautiful hills of Kapchorwa where we enjoy Sipi Falls down to the Valleys and plains of Teso and Soroti and the Peninsula of Kaberamaido along Lake Kyoga,” relayed Jean Pepe, the organizer.
The show will feature a great line up of artistes including Cindy Sanyu, Vampino, Washington, comedian Swengere and the best comedy export from the East, Emma Napoleone.
“The event will be about three aspects. It will be an avenue for OB’s and OG’s from all the traditional schools in the East to meet up and network. People from schools like Mwiri College, Butiki, Jinja College, Ngora SS, Nabumali SS, Namasagali, Tororo Girls, Teso College and many more will reunite at the festival. Secondly, it will be a chance for everyone in the East to share culture. A reason traditional performances are being prepared to the same cause. Expect a lot of Embaile, Kadodi Drums, Adungu, Malwa, Millet, among a panoply of things that symbolize the different tribes in the East. It will also be a platform for domestic tourism promotion,” relayed Paul Edyau, MD of Legends Venture Marketing and Events Agency.
