The mayor said that Windhoek is home to people from all over the world, who brought with them different lifestyles, traditions, art and cuisines. The festival will be celebrated under the motto “Diverse Cultures – One Vision” and will look at issues concerning everyday life in the city.

Kazapua added that “our cultural composition as residents makes Windhoek a cultural centre with a fusion of lifestyles, ideals, languages and influences”. Residents should look forward to the mayoral official opening, a first of its kind with a traditional fashion show fused with musicians on the runway.
