LaBa! Arts Festival

The LaBa!Arts Festival is one of the oldest art festivals in Kampala, having been organized by the Goethe-Zentrum Kampala/ Ugandan German Cultural Society (GZK/ UGCS) and the Ugandan Artists Association for the first time in 2007 under the name LaBa! Arts Street Festival. Since 2007 the festival grew to an annual event indispensable in Kampala’s cultural calendar.

In 2013 the organizing committee, consisting of the GZK/ UGCS and a committee of artists and other actors of the art scene in Uganda, decided to rename the festival into LaBa! Arts Festival, considering that name more appropriate regarding its current development.
