Lojay, Elijah Kitaka to Headline Cantina Fiesta on Saturday

This Saturday, July 26, all roads lead to the Cantina Fiesta, an immersive World Tequila Day celebration by Don Julio tequila. The event promises a blend of bold flavours, vibrant culture, and music, all with a Mexican touch. 

This is premised to be a double celebration, as the Don Julio tequila brand will be celebrating a year on the Ugandan market. 

At the venue there will be Signature Don Julio cocktails (Palomas, Margaritas, Tequila Mules, and more), from crisp Blanco, to iconic 1942, Mexican street food, and a full cultural takeover.

Nigerian Afrobeats star Lojay- of Monalisa fame, Rwanda’s Kivumbi King, and Uganda’s very own A Pass, Elijah Kitaka, and Lilian Mbabazi and a top DJ line-up.

And for the true fans, the Don Julio experience will be starting way earlier, with an exclusive Album Listening Party for LoJay, on Friday, July 25, at the Naguru Skyz Hotel. 

LoJay will be sharing his new album, and music lovers will have a rare opportunity of enjoying an up-close moment with the star, before he lights up the Cantina stage on Saturday.

“This isn’t just a party, it’s a cultural moment that will offer an experience akin to flying to Mexico without leaving Kampala,” says Uganda Breweries Limited’s Innovations Manager- Simon Lapyem. 

“Don Julio is giving Ugandans a front-row seat to Mexican tradition, flavour and luxury, all in one unforgettable celebration. Because we don’t do average, the entire experience is curated with craft, quality, and class. Whether you’re a cocktail lover, a tequila connoisseur, or just looking for something out of the ordinary, the Cantina Fiesta will deliver,” he added. 

Early bird tickets are going for UGX 50k, while gate tickets will be Shs 70k, Don’s Table for 5 at Shs 1.5m, or even go all Premium with the Don’s Circle of 5 at Shs 2.5m.
