The eventful weekend with mostly festivals that happened on the different corners of Kampala managed to stand out as the most well attended and sold out food tourism event, And to the surprise of many, the event was covered by a team from BBC who believed and had a great experience on set.
The event which started on the low with rain trying to disrupt later gained triumph when it stopped raining and youthful revellers started storming the grounds to enjoy different kinds and delicacies of Nsenene (Grasshoppers).
Like the name of the event suggested, revellers enjoyed different kinds of Nsenene as they jam to music played by DJs and performed by the artistes.
Revellers were seen playing cards and others resorting to face painting as they waited for performances to kick off.
There were performances from Rapper Fresh Kid, Singer Jowy Landa, Soul Sister, Crysto Panda, Ring Rapper, Ibrah Buwembo and lots more. The show was well hosted by comedians Collins Emeka and Optional Allan.
