Beer, food, games, music and socialites were the talk of town during the third edition of Oktoberfest Kampala at the Uganda Museum Grounds over the weekend.

The mood was relaxing

The annual festival which debuted on the Ugandan social calendar in 2016 followed the long-respected tradition that states that the celebrations of food, beer and culture feature on any day between September 16 and the first weekend of October, notably before Germany’s unification day on October 3. Like previous years, the 2018 edition was sponsored by Tusker Lite.
