The Mulhako wa Alhomwe annual festival is expected to draw a massive crowd of over 40,000 people from across Malawi, festival Chairperson, Counsel Felix Tambulasi, has confirmed.
The event, scheduled to take place from today Friday to Sunday at Chonde Cultural Village in Mulanje district, promises to be an exciting celebration of Lhomwe traditions and culture.
“Everything is set for the gala. We expect thousands of people from all regions to grace the event,” Tambulasi said.
Initiated by late President Bingu wa Mutharika, Mulhako wa Alhomwe aims to revive and preserve Lhomwe traditions and culture.
This year’s festival will be held under the theme “United for Purpose.”
