The attendants from all corners of Francistown and surrounding areas came dressed to kill to flaunt their local designer’s traditional attires. Moreover, the atmosphere from the town centre spoke loudly about the event as people were spotted in their traditional designer clothes and dancing shoes and prepared to socialise and party to the day's rich line-up. During the day, the music lovers set up their camping chairs, catching up to their family and friends whilst listening to a variety of music styles, from serenading music by local DJ’s. The atmosphere was refreshing and set up a reminder of the wonderful times when City of All Things Precious was so colourful and lively.

After the stressful moment, Cue Deck and DJ Chen presented the partygoers to more mixes, which caused them to dance all night long and forget about the incident that nearly soured their mood. With their new song, Taxi, and other performances the local duo Khoisan enthralled the audience and left them begging for more. As usual, Kabelo ‘Skavenja’ Tiro gave a stellar performance.
