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.
