This year’s Lake of Stars Festival will kick off with a little bit of something for everybody.
As the country is getting ready for the Lake of Stars (LoS) Festival which will take place from the 25 to 27 September, 2015 in Mangochi, the organisers of the top-rated festival hosted a launch party of the festival on the roof terrace of Peermont President Walmont Hotel (next to BICC) Sunday.
The party was spiced up by performances Q Malewezi who recited a very touching and brilliant piece, an artistic and exquisite dance by Tron and acoustic performances Lulu, Menes and Neil Nayar.
Rapper Tay Grin, singer George Kalukusha and the Norwegian Ambassador to Malawi, Mr. Kikkan Haugen were among some of the notable faces at the event.
