“As August is a month where the nation celebrates our women, we think it is befitting to have women spearheading most of the elements of the festival while at the same time we put together activities that are enjoyed by all genders and ages. We saw a great need to have a festival that allows everyone to unite and celebrate the phenomenal women in their lives in one venue. There is something for everyone to enjoy and learn while we celebrate women,” says organiser Ezekiel Shibambo
Local entertainment

The festival will incorporate complementary lifestyle elements such as arts and crafts, beauty, fashion, wellness, food, wine, whisky, cigar, craft beer, a kiddies zone, comedy and live music making this event a family orientated celebration.
