Windhoek, Katima Mulilo, Ondangwa, and Swakopmund played host to an array of performances that showcased the nation's diverse artistic talents and cultural vibrancy.

The celebration was held as part of World Music Day, also known as Fête de la Musique, an annual global event that originated in France and has since transcended borders, captivating audiences in over 120 countries. The festival is a testament to the universal language of music, inviting both amateur and professional musicians to perform in public spaces free of charge, fostering a sense of community and shared enjoyment.
