Speaking to Standard Style, the event organiser Denis Phiri of Embrace Africa said all was set for the first edition of the festival.

“It’s an exhibition for companies and individuals in the entertainment industry, such as bars, clubs, equipment hire, event planners etc.

Also, it will have musical concerts that will be featuring both local and international artists, creating room for collaborations," he said.

"It will be a themed (All White or Black) social event that will see people of all age groups from around Namibia and abroad coming together to socialise in one place and the stall exhibitors will get to make income and market their businesses. Also, creating awareness on child mothers and teenage pregnancy."

The festival will also be used to advocate against early pregnancies and educate young mothers in Namibia under the theme Save a Namibian Girl Mother.

“The aim is to advocate against teen pregnancy hence we are bringing together the youths in one place and impart knowledge there. We also want to revive the Namibian entertainment industry, giving back to the community through entertainment and creating a dynamic sustainable entertainment industry that is profitable to all stakeholders,” said Phiri
