University students and youth mobilizers have taken the lead in promoting cultural heritage through active preparations for Kadodi Karnival 2026, scheduled for May 2 at UMA Show ground in Kampala.

The gathering, attended by students from different institutions, focused on mobilizing fellow youths to participate in the annual carnival that celebrates the traditions of the Bagisu community. Organizers described the event as more than entertainment, saying it is a platform for preserving identity, strengthening unity, and reconnecting young people to their roots.

Participants displayed promotional posters and called upon students to embrace cultural events that promote African values and traditions. They noted that many young people are increasingly losing touch with their heritage due to modernization and foreign cultural influence.

According to the organizers, this year’s karnival will feature the famous Kadodi dance, cultural performances, exhibitions, and discussions aimed at empowering the youth socially and economically.

Students present expressed excitement about the event, saying it offers a chance to celebrate diversity, build friendships, and appreciate Uganda’s cultural richness.

Kadodi Karnival continues to grow as a major youth-centered cultural event, attracting participants from across the country and strengthening the spirit of tradition among the younger generation.

Fashion usually refers to current trends and what’s popular at a given time for example nowadays youths like oversized trousers and t.shirts, and buggy hoodies.
