KODI PA LYECSeeds of Greatness

Northern Uganda Farm Festival

A region of drum beats, dance and deep soil. Bwola circles, Larakaraka courtship rhythms, Odii shared across generations — the North doesn't perform its heritage, it lives it.

FOR THE FIRST-TIMERS

Two days. One farm. A whole generation.

This isn't a festival you attend — it's one you show up for. Music, fire, agribusiness, (West Nile, Acholi, Lango and karamoja) WALK and 125 acres of red soil to lose yourself on. Pack light. Pack real.

Real Food

Where you sleep

Pitch your tent. Or don't.

Accommodation on the farm is strictly limited. Come prepared — this is the North, not a hotel lobby.

RECOMMENDED

Bring your own tent.

Camp on the farm. Wake up to red-soil sunrise, drums warming up in the distance, mist rolling off the forest. This is the vibe.

  • Designated camp zones
  • Secure perimeter
  • Shared washrooms
  • Water refill points
LIMITED SLOTS

TEGOT Cottages.

On-site cottages for those who want a real bed after the bonfire. Books out fast — first come, first served.

From
$400/ night
RESERVE

Strongly advised: travel prepared. Northern hospitality is real, but the beds are few.

TASTE THE NORTH

Meet Odii.
And the family it comes with.

Odii — the legendary Northern Ugandan peanut paste — anchors every plate. Around it: malakwang, boo, millet bread, roast goat, shea butter drizzles and stories older than the road here. Come hungry.

The Program

All day learn.
All night vibe.

Loads of entertainment. Loads of learning. No filler.

Live Music

Northern legends, national headliners and unreleased sets on the main stage.

Bonfire Circles

Nightly fire pits with drums, story-tellers and Larakaraka dancers.

Farm-School

Real-time agriculture demos — mechanization, soil, coffee, agri-tech.

After-Dark

DJ sets under the mango trees till the sun says otherwise.

WHY IT MATTERS

Every ticket plants something.

When you show up, you're not just partying — you're boosting a regional economy, putting money in farmer pockets, and exposing Northern Uganda to people who've never set foot here. A portion of proceeds supports farming households across the region. Charity partner to be announced.
