Are you ready for this year’s Kilifi New Year Festival?

Kilifi New Year is a radically creative two-day explosion of music and tropical beach culture set on the serene banks of Kilifi creek in Southern Kenya. Incredible performances from around Africa and the world will come together to put on a unique, technicolor show to celebrate the intersection between Africa and the world electronic music. Kilifi New Year is a celebration, a location and a journey all in one.
