This year’s Kampala City Festival 2015 has been oversubscribed with companies injecting millions of shillings towards the support of East Africa’s biggest street party which happens on 4th October, 2015.
The event that started in 2012 has grown both in numbers and reach over the years with 2014 attracting 2 million revelers.
The Kampala City Festival is an all-encompassing event that brings together people of all races, cultures, interests to celebrate the different facets that make Kampala a unique City. Every year, the big party is proudly sponsored by the private sector including companies, individuals, banks and other stakeholders in the city.
This year, the budget is to the tune of UGX800m which will cater for security, sanitation and health among others. Part of the money is also used to carry out CSR projects in the City such as painting schools upon consent of the sponsors. 2015 will be unique; featuring some of the finest line-ups of musical talent and comedy, light float parades, costumes, headbands and so much more which blend well with the escapism that the festival brings.
KCCA’s annual Festival will have an additional special element to the party celebration. Uganda is Chair this year for the UN Committee on Climate Change and this accords us another opportunity to drum up climate matters.
