The Oukwanyama Traditional Authority (OTA) will host the Omaongo Festival at Omhedi in the Ohangwena region on 10 May 2025.
The festival is hosted on a rotating basis by one of the eight northern traditional authorities.
In a statement, the OTA has shared that this year’s event is themed ‘Preservation of Our Cultural Heritage and Strengthening of Our Unity in Namibia’.
“The festival also serves as a platform to showcase traditional practices like music, dance and storytelling with regards to the preparation of marula juice, ensuring these customs are passed on and will remain alive through generations to come,” the statement reads.
The festival will be preceded by a fundraising gala dinner at Helao Nafidi on 19 April.
