What We Do

Preserving culture, funding the festival

The main aim of Tugenin Culture is to promote and preserve Tugen heritage, and to foster peace among ourselves and our neighbouring communities. Entry to Culture Day is always free — merchandize, donations, membership, and partnerships exist to fund and support that mission.

Cultural Festivals

We organise the annual Tugenin Cultural Festival at Oinobmoi Cultural Center near Chebloch Gorge — dance, song, and ceremony that showcase Tugen heritage to thousands each year.

Peace & Unity

The festival is a platform for peace among neighbouring communities — Marakwet, Pokot, Tugen, Keiyo, and others take part in its performances and celebrations.

Merchandize

Culture wear and traditional ornaments, made and sold to fund the festival and spread the culture, with custom branding available on request.

Free Entry

Culture Day is completely free to attend — reserve a free pass in advance to help us plan, or just show up on the day.

Donations

Anyone can support the culture with a donation, out of goodwill — donors can be publicly recognised or choose to stay private.

Membership

We welcome anyone to register, verify their email, and be recognised as part of the Tugenin family.

Community Referral

Members who bring in a friend who purchases merchandize earn a reward — a free festival t-shirt.

Partnerships

Organisations register as partners, verify their identity, and — once approved — are recognised on our website.

Volunteering / Team

Registered members can apply to join our organising team ahead of the festival.

Where your contribution goes

Purchases keep the culture alive

Entry to Culture Day is completely free. The main purpose of buying merchandize or donating is to promote Tugen culture and keep it running, purely out of goodwill. Contributions go toward awarding the participating teams who entertain us and remind us of our culture, and toward the practical cost of putting on a festival this size:

  • Tents and seating
  • Security
  • MCs and DJs
  • ...and much more that goes into making Culture Day happen

Culture Day — December 26

Entry is completely free — everyone is welcome. Reserve a free pass in advance if you'd like to help us plan, or simply show up on the day. Can't make it yourself? Send merchandize to a friend or family member as a way to represent them at the celebration, out of goodwill.
