From the moment guests stepped into Ndumo Festivals, it was clear this wasn’t just about music—it was a full cultural experience.
The venue was transformed with stunning Kikuyu-themed décor—brown and white backdrops, traditional paintings, gourds, calabashes, and sisal accents everywhere. Posters of legendary Kikuyu icons added that extra touch of heritage, making the whole place feel like a celebration of roots and rhythm.
But wait—there was more!
Beyond the main stage, vendors lined up selling everything from handcrafted jewelry (think brass, beads, and shells) to stylish kitenge outfits and trendy sunglasses. Merch stalls were packed with festival goodies, meaning even if you came just to vibe, you definitely left with something fresh.
