This month's discussion forum will feature creative entrepreneurs in Kenyan festivals scene. Kenya creative industry can boast of a number of successful festivals including the Story Moja Hay Festival, Sondeka Festival, Slum Film Festival, and Sawa Sawa Festival just to name a few.
Festivals have for ages been used to increase commerce and trade as well as promote the name of the community or town associated with then. On the other hand, festivals can bring logistical nightmares and sometimes not guaranteed to be successful. A poorly run festival can be a money loser and hurt the reputation of the community organising it.
So what makes a festival successful?
Come and let's engage Kenya's great festival organisers as they share their success and challenges and the contribution of festivals to the Kenyan cultural and creative sector.
You will also be meeting our new steering committee members during the event.
