The long anticipated Royal Ascot goat races are finally upon us, taking place this weekend on the October 12,2019 at the Speke Commonwealth Resort Munyonyo where loads of fun packed activities are lined up for the day including a kids section that will also cater for the little ones.
An annual tradition, the goat races have grown to be more than just an entertainment event as proceeds go to charity; this year the money will go to building proper sanitary toilets for those living in impoverished communities within Kamwokya’s ghettos.
The main attraction will consist of eight course races that will feature various racers (goats) sponsored by different individuals and institutions. Anyone can take part in the races and goats can be bought starting from Shs6 million upwards.
The event that will kick off at 10am is set to attract thousands of revelers as many Ugandans look forward to the colorful spectacle that will take place by the lake side. “The Goat Races are more than just another event in Uganda, it’s a place where people can come and network and mix along with business, pleasure and have a fun humorous time with good food and drinks all day long.” Rajiv Ruparelia-Managing Director.
The event will further be highlighted by guest star performances as well as several displays of entertainment including a firework finale that will usher the guests into the night. For those looking for a family getaway this weekend then look no further; all roads will lead to Speke resort Munyonyo.
Tickets will be sold at only Shs50,000 although early birds can get one at Speke Resort Munyonyo, kabira Country Club for just Shs30,000.
