Governor Sakaja launches 2nd edition of Nairobi Festival

The six-day extravaganza, which seeks to showcase Nairobi’s cultural diversity and artistic spirit, kicked off on Jamhuri Day with Nairobians of all walks of life thronging Uhuru Park to take part in a jubilant fusion of entertainment, cultural showcases, art exhibitions, family-friendly activities, and captivating live performances.

The Nairobi Festival was officially unveiled in 2022 by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja to provide an opportunity for Kenyans to appreciate the city’s diverse food, culture and art.

Sakaja said the festival focuses on celebrating Nairobi’s rich culture, featuring artists exclusively from Nairobi County.

Beyond the vibrant performances and cultural displays, the event also serves as a dynamic platform for vendors and businesses to showcase their products.
