Fun and creativity take centre stage at Oriege Fest
The highly anticipated Oriege Fest, themed ‘Wonderland’, which kicked off on Friday, will conclude today, 8 November, at the Freedom Plaza open space.
According to event organiser Leo Kasheeta, this year’s festival is bigger and better, with a focus on creating a lively atmosphere for attendees to enjoy.
"We aim at creating a fun atmosphere that creates endless memories in a social environment," Kasheeta said, adding that this approach will allow the team to bring the concept to life in a creative and engaging way.
Beyond the music, the Oriege Fest offers a platform for young artists to showcase their talents.
"We create opportunities that most institutions don't provide," Kasheeta emphasised.
The festival has become a crucial part of the Namibian music and culture scene for youth, providing a space for creatives to express themselves and connect with their audience.
Safety and security are top priorities, with the team working closely with the police and qualified professionals to ensure a secure environment for attendees.
"We have covered all aspects in terms of safety by collaborating with the police and having highly qualified professionals," Kasheeta assured.
Bigger and better
With a projected attendance of at least 2 500 people over the two days, the festival’s impact extends beyond the event itself. Kasheeta hopes it will inspire young artists and contribute to the growth of the Namibian music industry.
Looking ahead, Oriege Fest aims to become an annual national cultural brand, with plans for bigger stages, expanded venues and prominent brand partnerships.
Over the next two to three years, fans can expect even more ambitious productions and opportunities for local talent, with a continued focus on creating unforgettable experiences and fostering young artists across Namibia.
