Mbomuzo Festival: The Beauty of Culture

Pictures from Mbomuzo in Obowo.

Mbomuzo Festival is an annual age long custom of environmental sanitation usually observed during the peak of the rainy season to weed out overgrown grasses off  bush paths, roads leading to public/special centres such as market places, worship centres, leadership centres etc. 

There is usually a whole lot of preparations leading to the D-Day when cultural dance groups and masquerades would be on display entertaining people from all works of life.
