Plans are underway to host a tourism festival in Kabala, northern of Sierra Leone. The Meet Me In Koinadugu Fest is a once-in-a-year festival that focuses on uniting people from all backgrounds and encouraging ‘Koinadugans’ to showcase the rich potential of the district.
Elvis Kallon, CEO of Diamond Line Entertainment, the company that is producing the festival said: “over the years, people have branded Kabala as a place for “black magic.” Hence, the MEET ME IN KOINADUGU FEST aims to rebrand the district through entertainment.”
He said further, “the platform will also help to enrich the culture in Koinadugu.”
Elvis said: “Koinadugu is often referred to as the “Land of Powerful Mixtures,” which offers many attractions. Our hospitality is the best in the country. Our weather is the best in the country. Koinadugu is the only place in Sierra Leone where you can find favourable weather conditions during November, December, and January. The weather is cold, and it is the only district that has experienced snow.”
Elvis said apart from its tourism potential, the district has fertile soil for farming. He says some of the best tourist sites in Sierra Leone can be found in Koinadugu district, including Wara-Wara Mountain, Loma Mountain and Lake Sonfon.
MEET ME IN Kabala festival is a 3-day non-stop fiesta. The festival, which will start from the 30December 2022 to 1January 2022, will have exhibitions, cultural performances, hiking, a football match, a live band performance, stand-up comedy performances, awards nights, among other things.
