Are you ready? Get set for second Jinja Fish Festival

After a hugely successful first edition of the Jinja Fish Festival, another is in the offing!

The festival will be held on Sunday December 1, 2019 at Forever Resort near the source of the Nile Bridge.

Moses Bakora, one of the organisers of the event said the second edition will not be only about music and partying. It will be a family outing.

Parents, he said, can come along with their children tand have a blast as they devour some of the different varieties of fish.

Bakora said there will be several activities such as: sustainable fisheries exhibition, school and corporate quizzes, live band performances, cook-offs and fish tasting.

“The venue will be buzzed with activities as merrymakers stroll from end to end with singers like King Saha hit the stage overlooking the calm Waters of the River Nile,” said Bakora.

“But this is not all the event is set to offer to the music lovers. More artists and comedians from both Jinja and Kampala will be headlining the event; we shall keep you posted as we draw nearer to the only Fisheries festival in the East African region.”

The festival will also be graced by conservationists and business communities.

“It will be a place to network and navigate through the possible areas of investment and add on the voice for sustainable fisheries,” Bakora disclosed.

After the Jinja Fish Festival, there will be another fish bonanza at Entebbe at Uganda Wildlife Education Center (UWEC) for the third edition of the Entebbe Fish Festival on 15 December.

So fish lovers out there, sharpen your appetite!
