If your weekend plans are still looking a little empty, iToka – The Crossing is bringing its second edition to Limuru this Saturday.

The cultural festival, dubbed Chapter 2, is happening on August 29, 2026, at Eva’s Garden in Redhill, Limuru, with a lineup that brings together music, fashion, visual art and other creative experiences.

Unlike the usual music-only events, iToka is putting a bit more focus on African culture and storytelling, with creatives from different fields expected to be part of the day-long event.

Who’s Performing?

The organisers have lined up a mix of established and emerging acts for the show, which runs from 12pm to 8pm.

The performance lineup includes Addeh Prince, Nyawira Siren, iNala, Folk Fusion, Flow Flaani, Leting and CEDO.

Media personalities Aunty Jemimah and Kibunja will take charge of hosting duties, while DJ Maina Rada Safi and DJ J.Y. will be keeping the music going between performances.

It’s Not Just About Music

There will also be visual art displays, fashion showcases and a creative marketplace, giving attendees something to check out beyond the main stage.

The festival takes its name from the Gikuyu term iToka, traditionally associated with boundary markers or plants used to mark land.

According to Tuwashow Media founder Chira Njoroge, the idea behind the festival is to explore culture and identity while creating room for artists and other creatives to connect with audiences.
