Kampala: Following a vibrant regional tour that recently brought Hoima to life, Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL) has announced that the grand climax of the Bell ObaFest series will take place on November 14 at Coco Beach in Entebbe. The lakeside celebration serves as the culmination of nationwide activations that have traversed the country, creating lasting memories and demonstrating the brand’s enduring commitment to the social fabric of Uganda.
From regional hotspots to the shores of Lake Victoria, the festival has continuously celebrated the warmth of community and the joy of coming together over familiar, shared pleasures. At its core, ObaFest has established itself as an authentic Bell Lager experience, deeply anchored in the very elements that define good times: good food, refreshing drinks, quality beer, and live music.
This year’s grand finale at Coco Beach brings these four pillars together on an even larger canvas, curating an atmosphere where great entertainment meets everyday camaraderie against a scenic waterfront backdrop. Music takes center stage as an essential heartbeat of the celebration. Revellers heading to Entebbe can look forward to a diverse and commanding artist lineup designed to keep the crowd moving from afternoon into the late hours.
Etania will bring her soulful and uplifting energy to the stage, complemented by the dynamic versatility and infectious stage presence of Ugandan dancehall stars A Pass and Vinka. Adding to the richness of the live performances, Tojo will join the roster alongside an extended selection of guest acts, regional talent, and top-tier hype DJs tasked with keeping the dance floor alive across multiple stages with Afrobeats, dancehall, and timeless local classics.
“Bell ObaFest is designed as a direct celebration of everyday social life,” stated Judie Nadekya, Bell Lager Brand Manager. “It brings people together around four foundational elements: good food, good drinks, live music, and quality beer. Taking the experience to the Entebbe Coco Beach as a grand finale event allows our consumers to connect with the brand, share a table with friends, and enjoy beautiful, not-so-ordinary festival production.”
Equally vital to the festival identity is the culinary journey, carefully curated to showcase the art of pairing good food with cold beer. Transforming Coco Beach into a bustling open-air kitchen, the festival grounds will host an expanded spread of food vendors offering everything from smoky street-food platters and succulent meat roasts to seasoned local favorites. Each dish is intentionally curated to complement the refreshing notes of chilled bottled and fresh draught Bell Lager, ensuring that every bite and sip feel like a celebration of local taste.
Beyond the sound stages and culinary stalls, revellers will have access to vibrant brand experience zones, beachfront seating lounges, and dedicated hospitality points built specifically around the joy of pulling up a chair and sharing a table with friends old and new. With full production underway for what is slated to be the definitive lakefront party of the season, tickets are priced at UGX 15,000 and can be secured through official Bell Lager digital platforms and designated partner ticketing outlets.
