11:25am | Safety begins with you
While security is ramped up at Namboole Stadium to ensure that everything goes on without incident, some parents are adding an extra layer of security to their presence at the event.
One such parent is this one in the picture below, who has written her contact on her child's wrist band in case of an emergency. Smart!

10:25am | Character on show
For such events, it's all about showing up in your style. And the young ones who have made appearance at Namboole have not disappointed. Many have applied a bit of character to their faces, thanks to the face painters at the venue while others have added props to their looks gel in the mood of the day.
Way to go, kids!
(Sylvia Katushabe has captured some of this)

10:05am | Camel rides
Some kids do not have acrophobia - fear of heights, if you like. So they will fancy a chance to view the world of the little ones from a couple of storeys up, on the hump of a camel.
These rides are available today at Namboole.

9:25am | Fresh Kid, EAGT winners to grace event
Well, from the arrivals at the moment, it is clear the weather has nothing on the spirits and determination of the little ones, who want nothing more than just have a little fun.
And with the promise of East Africa's Got Talent winners Esther & Ezekiel performing live at the event, it can only get better and better.
Musician Fresh Kid will also be there.
