Gulu City residents get a feel of ObaFest Experience
One of the exciting elements of the day was a mini-parade that followed a convoy of branded matatus - a popular means of public transport in Kenya that is known for their varying designs and upbeat music - as they rolled into the city to usher in the experience.

Residents of Gulu City got a healthy dose of fun over the weekend as Bell Lager delivered a mini-ObaFest experience at Kweyo Village ahead of the bigger East Africa OktobaFest that is happening this Sunday, October 22, at Jahazi Pier.
The Gulu experience featured entertainment from top local acts such as Pato Loverboy, Pretty B, the Dance Masters Troupe and Eezzy, who were supported by MCs Mercy, Young Moni and Lucky.
East Africa OktobaFest is a beer festival meant to celebrate East African cuisine, music and culture. The Gulu experience gave the city’s residents a taste of what the festival will deliver, including cuisines from South Sudan, group games like matatu, ludo and snakes and ladders.
