Uganda Waragi has set up a one-point Ugandan delicacy center at Itanda falls ahead of this year’s Nyege Nyege festival.
The 2022 Nyege Nyege edition is less than a fortnight away, and the title sponsors Uganda Waragi aren’t done yet with fueling up the excitement among Ugandan revelers.
Uganda Waragi has set up a delicacy center, specially curated to deliver an authentic Ugandan experience.
The center dubbed “The Ugandanness” and measuring approximately 1,600 square meters in size will pay homage to Ugandan lifestyle and culture.
From cherished local delicacies (e.g. Rolex, Kalo & Luwombo) to famous Ugandan streets (e.g. Bandali Rise) and many more elements throughout the festival.
On the entertainment front, the center will feature performances from authentic Ugandan acts like Nilotika, Otim Alpha, Domadana Kadodi Drummers, Nakibembe Xylophone Troupe, Masaka Masaka and more.
Also performing will be Cindy Sanyu, Pallaso, Navio, and Janzi Band performing alongside Deejays Selector Jay, Alisha, Naselow, Kampire, Zato and others.
Speaking to the development, Hillary Baguma, UBL’s Brand Manager Mainstream Spirits said, “At its core, Nyege Nyege is about bringing people from different walks of life together to celebrate and express themselves authentically, and Uganda Waragi – being the spirit of Uganda – is looking to celebrate the festival’s return with a truly Ugandan experience.”
This will be the first physical edition of Nyege Nyege since 2019 when the world was hit by COVID-19.
The 2022 edition will inaugurate the festival’s new home at Itanda Falls which is 5 times bigger than the previous venue.
This guarantees revellers ample space for fun and adventure with entertainment, visual arts installations and innovative stage designs blending within the forest.
Regarding the event logistics, Baguma added that despite the bigger venue size, the organisers – including Talent Africa Group – are working with the relevant security agencies to ensure maximum safety and security for revellers throughout the festival.
The 2022 edition of Nyege Nyege festival is scheduled for September 15th, running up to 18th of the same month.
