The Routes & Roots Festival is delighted to announce Pepsi Uganda as the Official Soft Drink & Refreshment Partner for the inaugural Routes & Roots Festival 2026, taking place from 29–31 October 2026 at Lake Saaka Recreation Centre, Fort Portal Tourism City.

Refreshing Uganda's Biggest Cultural Gathering
Routes & Roots Festival is more than an event—it's a journey into the heart of East Africa's heritage. From traditional music and dance to cultural villages, local cuisine, storytelling, fashion, art, and immersive tourism experiences, every moment is designed to celebrate the diversity that unites us.
As the Official Soft Drink & Refreshment Partner, Pepsi Uganda will provide a wide range of refreshing beverages across the festival grounds, ensuring visitors enjoy every performance, experience, and cultural encounter in comfort.
Festival-goers can expect refreshment stations strategically located throughout the venue, allowing families, travellers, exhibitors, artists, and cultural performers to recharge as they explore everything the festival has to offer.
A Partnership Built on Shared Experiences
Culture has always brought people together, and great experiences are made even better when shared.
The partnership between Routes & Roots Festival and Pepsi Uganda reflects a shared commitment to creating vibrant moments that inspire connection, celebration, and national pride. Together, we are building an experience where every visitor feels welcome, every community is represented, and every journey is worth celebrating.
Whether you're discovering a new culture, enjoying traditional performances, exploring Uganda's tourism attractions, or simply sharing moments with friends and family, Pepsi Uganda will be there to keep the celebration refreshed.
