Johnnie Walker will this weekend host two Father's Day celebrations in Kampala as part of its A Toast to Dad campaign, aimed at honouring fathers, mentors, guardians and father figures whose influence has shaped generations.
The whisky brand said the initiative seeks to celebrate men whose wisdom, sacrifice, resilience and guidance have had a lasting impact on families and communities.
The celebrations will begin on Friday evening at Black Panther Lounge in Kisasi, with performances from DJ Rishad, DJ Lito, DJ Magic Touch, MC Hanz, Timans The General and Evlyn Mic.
The festivities will then continue on Sunday, Father's Day, at Thrones Lounge in Bugolobi with an Ultimate Bottle Turn Up experience hosted by media personality and DJ Lynda Ddane. The event will feature performances by Crystal Deejay, Jerry Mehn, DJ Esau and Sir Aludah.
Guests at both events will enjoy premium Johnnie Walker whisky serves, signature cocktails and interactive brand experiences.
Speaking about the celebrations, Johnnie Walker Shopper Manager Julius Ssennungi said Father's Day provides an opportunity to recognise the contribution fathers and father figures make in helping people navigate life's challenges and achievements.
"At Johnnie Walker, progress has always been at the heart of everything we stand for. This Father's Day, we want to celebrate the men who have inspired progress in others; the fathers, mentors, and father figures, who have encouraged generations to keep walking, no matter the obstacles. 'A Toast To Dad' is our way of honouring their contribution and creating memorable moments for families and friends to celebrate together."
"We shall have two mega Fathers' Day celebrations, at Black Panther,Friday, and at Thrones Lounge, on Sunday. But for those that will not be able to make it, you can still toast to dad in a flavourful way by getting him a bold gift from our Johnnie Walker catalogue, and even personalise the bottle with a sweet message to show how much he means to you," he added.
Johnnie Walker said the campaign is intended to celebrate not only biological fathers, but also uncles, brothers, mentors and other role models who have inspired people to keep moving forward in life.
