About 10,000 people are expected to attend the 3rd Edition of Teso Night, slated for December 24, 2025, at Amagoro Primary School grounds in Teso North Sub-County, Busia County.<\/p>\n

The founder of the event and popular musician Kiteh Ekirapa said on Monday that the celebration, sponsored by the Arthur Amug Osiya Foundation, will kick off at 2pm and run until dawn.<\/p>\n

Kiteh, the brain behind the annual cultural gala, confirmed that Principal Administrative Secretary in the Executive Office of the President, Arthur Amug Osiya, will grace the occasion as the Chief Guest.<\/p>\n

\u201cActivities lined up include singing, modelling, spoken word, dance, and even eating competitions, among others,\u201d he said, adding that culture executive from
\nDifferent counties will attend the event to learn on the Iteso culture.<\/p>\n

Kiteh added that performing artists and dance groups will be drawn from across the greater Teso region, which is renowned for its rich pool of musical and creative talent.<\/p>\n

PAS Osiya, who spoke earlier in August, said the 2025 edition of Teso Night will be unique and more vibrant compared to the previous two editions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initiative touches the lives of our people in a special way. To strengthen its impact, we have expanded the organizing committee to include business leaders and church representatives,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He said Amagoro residents remain the biggest beneficiaries of the event, as hawkers and traders enjoy booming sales of various products including bottled water and soft drinks during the festivities.<\/p>\n

Osiya further commended the event founder, Kiteh Etyang, for his continued role in talent development, emphasizing that the region does not need to outsource performers when they have gifted youths within.<\/p>\n
