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.
From a themed procession to an exhilarating
concert by Ugandan musicians, the full programme consists of photographic and
art exhibitions, tours and trails, street performances, large-scale interactive
installations and even a fashion show!
“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.
