This momentous occasion marks the first open ceremony to the public since the outbreak of the devastating Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, which compelled the royal household to restrict all ceremonies to ensure safety and well-being.
Leading the organization committee for this year’s extraordinary anniversary is none other than the minister for the Kingdom’s special duties and esteemed chairman, Owek. David Mpanga.

Promptness and orderliness are the essence of the day, as all esteemed invitees are expected to occupy their seats gracefully by 10 am, marking the beginning of an eventful and memorable day.
Embracing a theme of great significance and historical reverence, this year’s anniversary embarks on a journey to explore and celebrate “the importance of clans to the Kingdom.” The cherished heritage of Buganda, deeply rooted in its clans, exemplifies the unity and collective identity of its people, forging bonds that transcend time and adversity.
