NEWS LAMU CULTURAL FESTIVAL 2019 Held annually in November, The Lamu Cultural Festival brings together both local and international tourists for the three to four day event that culminates in a famous dhow race. The festival is a celebration of both the past and future, and the beliefs and traditions that are the very heart and soul of the Lamu community. Several competitions, races and activities are often showcased, and these include traditional Swahili poetry, henna painting, bao competitions, swimming races, donkey races, traditional artisan craft making, traditional dancing and music as well as a chance to sample local cuisine. Most visitors to the island fall in love with its relaxed and peaceful lifestyle, and visiting during the Lamu Cultural Festival is a chance to experience Lamu life at its most exuberant and joyous. Look out for this year’s dates on www.lamu.go.ke RUSINGA FESTIVAL 2019 The 8th edition of the Rusinga Festival will be taking place on 19th and 20th December on Rusinga Island, - one of the gems on Lake Victoria. Expect two days of music, fashion, film, food, artistry, literature, sports and conversations that take you back in time into the wealth of the Suba culture. The 2019 edition is tailored along the theme “The Island Remembers” – which gives us a reason to reminisce, celebrate, re-imagine and connect Rusinga Island to the world through art, culture and literature. It will be interesting to see how the theme plays out in conversations on tourism, culture, identity, art, theatre, film, fashion, entrepreneurship, leadership, environment, disability, technology, women and youth empowerment, health, gender and so on throughout the festival.
