The Blankets and Wine two-part Kenyan Summer Edition held at the Ngong Racecourse, Nairobi on Sunday lived up to expectations with elegance dominating the grounds filled with music.
Blankets and Wine is a monthly picnic-style family-friendly music festival showcasing emerging genres of urban-African music.
“Summer is here! You can feel it in the air, feel it your bones and better yet, we’re ready to make sure you cap off your year in the way you deserve,” said the organizers after revelers complained of what transpired December 22nd, 2019.
Thanks to everyone who has posted/texted/DMd with feedback for improvement esp around lighting, toilets, security & harzards within gig and bar experience. We will be better in all these areas this time around.
