As is the tradition, the annual Uganda Waragi Nyege Nyege festival started off some rocky grounds but pulled off immaculate vibes during the 4-days of the festival amidst tight security and safety measures.
This edition took place at one location unlike the previous edition that merged 4 venues, making it seamless to navigate the festival grounds and experience each and everything without breaking a sweat.

Of course, this is up for debate as some thought the venue took away the mystery and adventure to the festival!
Different music genres highlighted the weekend with cultural rhythms and sounds from traditional dance troupes, electronic dance music taking centre stage at the Hakuna Kulala stage, reggae music, afro-rock, afro-beats and punk on the Uganda Waragi main stage, and the real party with Lemon and Ginger.
Uganda Waragi yet again proved itself as the spirit that binds us as the vibes at the Uganda Waragi tent, led by colorful unlimited Lemon and Ginger variant.
The vibes were infectious, and spoke to how happy we are as Ugandans, how we party and celebrate.
Artistic expressions, art murals and bits of cultural expressions were hard to miss during the festival as were the various food stalls and free hydration stations that fostered responsible consumption of alcohol among festival goers.
This is what you missed at the 2024 Uganda Waragi Nyege Nyege.
