Karole Kasita brought her signature dancehall energy to Hoima as Bell Lager’s ObaFest regional tour made its stop at Dangio Annex Bar over the weekend, delivering a night of live music, food and celebration.
The Hoima activation drew revellers from across the town for a festival experience that continued into the early hours of the morning, combining live performances, DJ sets and food experiences built around Bell Lager’s brand.
Kasita was among the night’s major attractions, entertaining the crowd with popular songs including Balance, Binyuma, Chekecha and Yaka.
Accompanied by her dance crew, the singer kept the audience engaged as revellers sang along, danced and responded to her energetic stage performance.
The entertainment continued with MC Kats, who hosted the event and kept the excitement going between performances. Local DJs also maintained the atmosphere with a mix of contemporary dancehall, Afrobeats and Ugandan classics.
Beyond the music, guests had access to different food options, including meat roasts, street-food platters and local pairings. Fresh draught and bottled Bell beer were central to the experience, alongside other beverages in Uganda Breweries Limited’s portfolio.
Herbert Ndugga, representing Uganda Breweries Limited, said the festival is designed around everyday social experiences, bringing people together through food, drinks and live entertainment.
“Bell ObaFest is designed as a direct celebration of everyday social life. It brings people together around four foundational elements: good food, good drinks, live music, and quality beer,” Ndugga said.
He added that taking the festival to Hoima gave regional consumers an opportunity to enjoy the brand experience in their own town while spending time with friends.
The Hoima event forms part of Bell Lager’s wider regional ObaFest activations, which have also included a two-day takeover in Gulu.
With the regional celebrations drawing towards a close, attention now shifts to the festival’s Kampala-area finale, scheduled for November 14, 2026, at Coco Beach in Entebbe.
According to the event information provided, the closing celebration is expected to feature an expanded lineup of artists, multiple DJ stages, culinary vendors and interactive brand zones.
Ticketing and access information is expected through Bell Lager’s official digital channels and partner ticketing outlets.
After bringing music and festival experiences to different parts of the country, ObaFest is preparing to wrap up its regional run with one final celebration at Coco Beach.
