One of the organisers, Ibraheem Kuvawoga said the festival is all about giving creatives a platform to socialize while exposing their talent.

“It’s an initiative that focuses on making local creatives meet and interact while showcasing what they do,” said Kuvawoga.

He said preparations for the event are going on well with the stage set to be occupied by diverse creatives.

“The unique thing about this forthcoming edition is that we have new faces from MCs to DJs and performing artistes. We did that because we wanted it to be different from the rest. We’re also working with many people on this event and we can’t wait for the day to come.”
