Annual Events and Festivals in Rwanda. Who says nothing ever happens in Kigali? Well, me. Kind of a lot. But I was wrong! Rwanda as a whole has a bunch of kind of awesome events on each year and I didn’t even realise it until I sat down and compiled this list. I was a fool! A fool, I say! To save myself from having to remember to change the dates each year and then becoming that big jerk who doesn’t update things and gives crappy information, I’ve decided just to leave the exact dates off altogether. Which is also kind of jerky but I think there are enough links on offer that you can investigate the situations yourselves and get the most accurate information straight from the source.

True… many of these websites are crappy and many of the Facebook pages don’t seem to have been touched in some time but there should, at least, be some sort of a contact address or phone number. Prices might be right or they might be wrong but they’ll give you a rough idea at least. If you find that info has changed since I’ve written this article, give me a shout at kirsty@livinginkigali. I’ll fix it, I swear! Well, for your event- planning- pleasure, here’s a big list of annual Rwanda events. I’ve written my take on the ones I know anything about or have attended but there are a lot that are still a mystery to me.

If you happen to make it to any of the mysterious events or have extra information for me to add to the article, get in touch. Also stay tuned to my Kigali events calendar for exact dates as each event approaches. RDB Business Awards. When: January? Where: Serena Hotel? Cost: ? Website: http: //www.

Facebook: https: //www. RDB- Business- Excellence- Awards/1. The RDB Business Awards website is a fine example of a hideous website that tells the reader nothing. So I can’t really say anything about this event. Come on RDB… you can do better!

Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. When: February. Where: Cercle Sportif. Cost: Rwf 1. 0,0. Rwf 1,0. 00 to watch (for admission to Cercle Sportif).

Website: http: //kigali. Facebook: https: //www.

Article: http: //www. Though I think declaring that your sport is ‘ultimate’ falls somewhere along a yet- to- be- identified spectrum of douchy- ness, I have to admit that it’s kind of a cool sport. Frisbees, running, catching, teamwork… seems like a good combination to me. The group of players in Kigali is a dedicated bunch, playing up to three times a week, sometimes as early as 6am (check their Facebook page for their training times).

The tournament has grown out of this group and also welcomes teams from neighbouring counties. Get a team together and join in, or just stop by Cercle Sportif to show your support. Jamafest – EAC Arts & Cultural Festival. When: February. Where: Amahoro Stadium. Cost: ? Website: http: //www.

Facebook: https: //www. This cultural festival seems to bring together a lot of different cultural activities – dance, poetry, theatre, short films etc. The festival’s first year was in 2. Kigali and it’s meant to rotate through East African countries so maybe it’ll be back in town again sometime soon or it may take awhile to rotate back here. I’m not sure but something to keep an eye out for, anyway. Fespad. When: February/March. Where: Various venues around Rwanda.

Cost: Mostly free. Beyond Tv Show Episode 4 there. Website: http: //www. Facebook: https: //www.

Fespad
Twitter: https: //twitter. This pan- African dance festival is held in Rwanda every two years. Looks pretty cool and I remember there being some pretty interesting events on last time. Salax Awards. When: March.

Where: Serena Hotel. Cost: ? Facebook: https: //www. The Salax Awards appear to be an annual awards show recognising musical talent in Rwanda.

According to this article there are plenty of live performances and a variety of different awards give out. Seems like a great way to see the who’s who of the Rwandan music industry. Unfortunately I can’t find any information on tickets… can anyone help? Kigali Peace Marathon. When: May. Where: Kigali.

Cost: In 2. 01. 3 it cost Rwf 2,0. Rwandans and residents and Rwf 6,0.

Watching is free, just pick a spot somewhere along the route. Website: http: //www. Facebook: https: //www. Kigali- International- Peace- Marathon/3. Article: http: //www.

Walk, run, run for a bit longer, watch… whatever you choose. This yearly marathon, half marathon, and fun run is open to everyone and it’s a great way to see Kigali and to truly experience the hills – experience them in a way that might kill your legs. It’s a popular event and a great day spent cheering on your friends or getting a bit of running in. AIC International Food Fair. When: May. Where: A different embassy residence each year. Cost: Rwf 1. 0,0. This food fair brings some of Kigali’s restaurants and embassies together to showcase world cuisines.

I was actually pretty impressed with the choices the year I went – everything from burgers from the States to a French fondu to a table of Sri Lankan food surprises. The year I went it was set in the Belgian residence which was a great venue. It’s a good day for feeding your face while hanging out with lots of foreign invaders. Kwita Izina (Gorilla Naming Ceremony)When: June. Where: Musanze. Cost: There are various events and costs.

Website: http: //www. Facebook: https: //www. Kwita- Izina/1. 16. Twitter: https: //twitter. A baby gorillas event? Too cute to exist, you ask? No! It happens every year in Musanze as the previous year’s newborn gorillas are given names.

There are a bunch of different events organised around the naming ceremony but I’ve never been to anything so you’ll have to stalk them on their website, Facebook page and Twitter accounts to figure out what will be happening next year. Rwanda Film Festival (Hillywood)When: July. Where: Various locations around Kigali and some showings out of town.

Cost: Mostly free with some paid events. Website: http: //rwandafilmfestival.

Facebook: https: //www. The Rwanda Film Festival was founded in 2. Kigali events. Temporary movie venues are set up in fantastic places all over the city and I think also around Rwanda. The festival runs for a week and offers up several films each day at three or four venues around town. The new Century Cinema at KCT hosted some events for the first time in 2.

Most of the movies are free and it’s a great week to be in Kigali for film fans. Kigali Up! When: July. Where: Amahoro Stadium. Cost: Rwf 2,0. 00. The Oc First Season Episode Guide on this page.

Website: http: //kigaliup. Facebook: https: //www. The second Kigali Up was held in 2. It’s a weekend festival with two full days of music across two stages. The music is pretty varied with a good mix of international artists with a focus on Africans and a Canadian connection due to the organiser being Mighty Popo, an award winning Canadian- Rwandan artist. I didn’t know any of the acts but I’m music handicapped and don’t know really know who anyone is beyond 9. Yes, I’m admitting that.

Anyway, it’s a fun day out with good entertainment, decent sound, food stalls from Kigali restaurants and a generally chilled out and fun atmosphere. Toilets are a horrifying experience but, besides that, I’d recommend you check it out. Rwanda International Trade Fair (Expo)When: July. Where: Gikondo Fair Grounds. Cost: Free? I think. Or maybe around Rwf 2,0.

I’ve never really understood what the appeal of trade fairs is supposed to be for the average person. Or even what the point of a trade fair is for people who are a part of the trade fair. Do you get together and set up a stall and find new clients? Is it to showcase your wares?

I’m always confused at these things.
