The County Executive Committee Member for Trade, Tourism, Industry and Marketing Ms Farida Salim held a consultative forum with key stakeholders ahead of the planned department’s signature event dubbed Fish Fiesta and a partnership event dubbed Naam Festival under the platform – Kanda La Ziwa.

The department will be holding Fish Fiesta 2023 during Easter Holidays running from 6th to 9th April 2023 at Hippo Point Public Beach in Kisumu.

The event will be marked with activities such as Boat Race, Miss Tourism, Mr. Tourism, Mr. Flex, Mr. Strong, Tug of War, Photo Competition, Beach Volleyball, Entertainment, Kids Fun Fair, Exhibitions, Symposia, Medical Camps, and Fire Works.

As a precursor to the event, Kisumu is hosting under the platform of Kanda La Ziwa, a Lakeside people’s meeting on environmental governance sustainable development to meet and discuss environmental challenges and solutions at the Lake.

Those planning to visit Kisumu during the Easter Holidays are invited to eat and enjoy fresh delicacies of fresh fish from Lake Victoria.

The Stakeholders together with the media team visited Dunga Hill Camp to launch the Naam Festival running under a platform Kanda La Ziwa. Led by Hon. Farida. The team later took a guided tour to Ogal Beach and had a conversation with Beach Management Unit stakeholders on the conversation of the lake.
