The famous Walkers Tour is back, and this time it has its sights set on the northern city of Gulu. The tour that was last in Mbarara City in western Uganda, is part of the Johnnie Walker’s “To the Ones Who” campaign; a movement designed to celebrate creatives across Africa who in their different trades and walks exemplify its long-standing “Keep Walking” mantra.

“We’re super hyped up for Gulu. This edition is definitely going to be bigger and better. We are bringing everything from exceptional events production power house- Fenon Events, to the biggest entertainment lineup that’s befitting of a city like Gulu. I urge all the youth to prepare their outfits, dust their dancing shoes, and get ready to come out and celebrate the simple steps that they take every day as they progress towards becoming the best versions of themselves,” said Kyokunda.

The event will be headlined by the National Walker Navio, who will be flanked by the other Walkers including DJ Slick Stuart, Miss Deedan who will be co-hosting the event alongside Gulu’s biggest MCs, Slay Farmer, Timothy Code and the Only Jaluo.
