Pilsner Lager and Uganda Waragi set up the first-ever cultural village at the 8th Edition of the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo (POATE) showcasing the unique and diverse Uganda cultural experiences.
The different cultural clusters showcased their unique cultures through food, fashion, music and dance as evidenced by traditional dance troupes that paid homage to various tribes throughout the day.
The three-day Expo kicked off on May 23rd at Speke Resort Munyonyo drawing hundreds of visitors from around the world to experience Uganda’s Tourism offerings including its diverse cultural heritage.
” Pilsner Lager is firmly rooted within Ugandan culture and the primary goal of curating the first-ever Cultural Village at the Expo is to highlight and recognize the unique cultural offerings with the rest of the world,” said Edgar Kihumuro the Pilsner Lager Brand Manager.
Uganda Waragi also offered attendees a taste of Ugandan hospitality with a colourful Lemon and Ginger experience.
