Date:
24 to 26 May 2013,
Place:
Loiyangalani
From 24 to 26 May 2013, the Lake Turkana Festival will take place in
Loiyangalani for the sixth consecutive year. Beyond the presentation of
cultural dances and traditions of the participating communities, this year's
festival will also focus on economic development. The economic development of this part of the country offers great chances, but it also entails a number of challenges for the communities as well as for investors. The Festival helps to overcome stereotypes and creates a mutual understanding of different cultures and promotes peaceful coexistence. It advocates the shared and eco-friendly use of natural resources while supporting economic growth.
From a cultural point of view, the event will feature unique performances and demonstrations of ten ethnic communities which live in the Lake Turkana region: El Molo, Rendille, Samburu, Turkana, Dassanach, Ghabra, Borana, Konso, Wata and Burji.
