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.

Northern Uganda Farm Festival · 2026
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.
11–12 December 2026
TEGOT Farmstead · Gulu
25 September 2026 · TEGOT Farmstead, Gulu City
Beatrice Mao launched Kodi Pa Lyec — Seeds of Greatness — bringing agriculture, enterprise and the cultures of Northern Uganda together ahead of 11–12 December.
A view from above · The official launch
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.
Where you sleep
Accommodation on the farm is strictly limited. Come prepared — this is the North, not a hotel lobby.
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.
On-site cottages for those who want a real bed after the bonfire. Books out fast — first come, first served.
Strongly advised: travel prepared. Northern hospitality is real, but the beds are few.
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
Loads of entertainment. Loads of learning. No filler.
Northern legends, national headliners and unreleased sets on the main stage.
Nightly fire pits with drums, story-tellers and Larakaraka dancers.
Real-time agriculture demos — mechanization, soil, coffee, agri-tech.
DJ sets under the mango trees till the sun says otherwise.
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.
Two nights of drums, fire, Larakaraka and Northern soul. Grab your people, grab a tent — the North is calling.
