The nationwide tour of Kenya’s biggest beer and culture festival, Tusker Oktobafest, came to a thrilling conclusion this past Saturday, November 8, as thousands of revellers gathered at Attela Beach Resort in Kisumu for an unforgettable celebration of music, beer, and culture.
The Kisumu Lake Edition marked the grand finale of a vibrant regional tour that included successful stops in Nairobi, Eldoret, Mombasa, and Nanyuki, making 2025 one of Oktobafest’s most expansive and energetic years yet.
Attela Beach Resort transformed into a vibrant stage of Kenyan culture, headlined by hitmakers Bensoul, Fathermoh, and Harry Craze. The crowd danced late into the night to the beats of top DJs Gordo, Ves, Daffy, and Dimore, while MC Gogo and Hype Amollo kept spirits high throughout the show.
