Once again Lamu Cultural Festival is
back. The festival is organized by the Lamu Cultural Promotion Group and hosts
an array of activities ranging from music performances, donkey races,
traditional dances, handicraft display, dhow races, Swahili poetry competition,
henna painting to bridal ceremonies.
Lamu is an old town that lies on the
upper edge of the Kenyan coastline and has a very rich Swahili culture
background. It was inscripted as a World Heritage Site in 2001.
This Festival attracts many
participants drawn from different parts of the world that come to experience
the Island’s virgin beaches, magnificent architecture that dates a few
centuries back, the rich Swahili culture and the wonderful hospitality of the
people of Lamu as well as participate in some of these activities.
This year’s event goes down from 22nd
to 24th November.
