WINDHOEK – A celebration of the annual 67th Windhoek Karneval, better known as WIKA, kicked off with a bang in the capital on Saturday at the Mega Centre.

WIKA is the largest carnival in Namibia, which takes place every year in March and April in Windhoek. The carnival has existed since 1952 and is organized by the “Carnival Society Windhoek 1952” under the ambit of Sports Club Windhoek.

The festival will end with an after party on April 14.
Under the theme ‘Wika Konfetti. Alles Paletti’ the festival is proudly sponsored by the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group.
