John Ddumba, the chairman organising committee, introduced his team and the various sponsors who include Airtel, City Tyres, Bell Lager, Movit and Kampala Casino.
This year’s platinum sponsors, City Tyres, gave Musisi a blank cheque.

Kampala City Festival that was first held in 2012 is a signature brand that draws multitudes to Kampala every first Sunday of October to celebrate culture, unity and provides immense networking opportunities for business.
The biggest street party in East-Afrika is now an annual event that brings together all City dwellers, stakeholders and business people. It focuses on togetherness, one of the city’s oldest and richest cultural ideas.
On this fine occasion, song, dance, food, entertainment, merry making, shopping, culture and diversity are all enjoyed right in middle of this great metropolis. It’s a much anticipated moment for citizens to share and learn while acting as an economic engine for organisations to grow, network and prosper. It provides a platform to celebrate the many things that set Kampala apart from other cities.
