Aww shucks, we're blushing ☺️ But with all seriousness, our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone physically/emotionally injured at the Konshens show, we wish you a speedy recovery 💚💚
Kilifi new year has such great numbers but you don't come across a stampede. Proper planning, multiple ticket sales & confirmation points.
Efficiency is key.

Why do we burn massive structures every year on January 1st?
The Burn is a symbol of transition and positive change.
We let go of the past & the ashes rise into the air with our hopes and wishes for the blank canvas of the New Year which has only just begun.

Eswatini has bush fire festival.
Ugandan has Nyege Nyege.
Malawi has lake of stars.
Ghana has chale wote.
Having a festival that’s inspired by the above in Kenya would be great , but copy pasting everything down to a name unique to a particular country is outlandish.
