It is back! The biggest children's party in Uganda is here again. Vision Group will on December 10 hold its third Toto festival — and this time, it is bigger and better.
The festival will be held at a bigger venue, at the Mandela National Stadium in Namboole, so that the children have more space and equipment to play with. Entry fee for the festival is sh10,000.
Mary Grace Banona, a Primary Seven pupil at Kampala International School is excited and looking forward to the party.
"We expect to have a lot of fun at the festival and to learn new things as we grow up, like the value of saving," she said at the launch of the festival today at Vision Group head offices in Kampala.

Philip Katuura Musozi, a Primary Six pupil of Kabojja Junior School too is looking forward to the festival when the holidays come around.
"We are going to have a lot of fun, I wish this festival was on right now," he said.
Toto festival is a children's fun event organised by Vision Group under the Toto brand and in partnership with several corporate companies. This year, Post Bank, Mirinda, Movit, Jesa Dairy and Jude Color Solutions are partnering with Vision Group to organise the fete.
