Bayimba International Festival Of The Arts

The 6th edition of the Bayimba International Festival of the Arts is scheduled from 20th to 22nd of September 2013 at the National Theatre. Bayimba Cultural Foundation takes credit for having established the Bayimba International Festival of the Arts as an important benchmark for the consumption of Uganda-s finest arts. Every third week of September, Kampala comes alive as a vibrant and eventful city when an unparalleled feast of music, dance, theatre, film, and visual arts from renowned and upcoming artists are brought to Kampala. The Festival has developed into a major multi-arts festival with varied and qualitative programming, presenting exciting, innovative and creative ideas. It is eagerly awaited by local artists and local people alike while artists from abroad and visitors from far afield pour into Kampala to take advantage of the exciting artistic experience. The Festival has truly become a highlight on Uganda-s social and cultural calendar and is also gradually developing into an important (East) African destination Festival, ensuring regional and international visitation and enhancing both national and international cultural tourism. -
