Blankets & Wine tradition
2024 would witness not just one, but four editions of Blankets & Wine, each slated for the first Sunday of every quarter and the last Sunday before Christmas.
The unique cultural event combines live music, food, fashion, and art in an outdoor setting.
Originating in Nairobi in 2008, the festival has become a staple of Kenya's entertainment scene, attracting both local and international artistes and attendees.
The festival is named after its relaxed atmosphere, where attendees bring blankets to sit on the grass while enjoying the performances.
It typically features a diverse lineup of musicians spanning various genres, including Afro-pop, reggae, hip-hop, and electronic music.
