The Tusker Oktobafest beer and culture festival wrapped up its nationwide tour in spectacular fashion this past Saturday, October 8th, with a grand finale at the Attela Beach Resort in Kisumu.

Thousands of revelers gathered for the “Lake Edition,” capping off a successful series of regional events that also energized Nairobi, Eldoret, Mombasa, and Nanyuki.

The Attela Beach Resort was transformed for the event, hosting a vibrant celebration of Kenyan beer and culture. The night featured an all-star entertainment lineup, headlined by hitmakers Bensoul and Fathermoh, along with Harry Craze.

The electrifying atmosphere was non-stop, sustained by a powerhouse team of top DJs, Gordo, Ves, Daffy, and Dimore, who kept the energy at its peak. MC Gogo and Kisumu’s own Hype Amollo hosted the unforgettable finale.

  • MC Gogo kicked off the stage performances, setting the tone for the night.
