An updated Festival poster, issued on 25 August 2026, names H.E. Maj. (Rtd) Jessica Rose Epel Alupo, Vice President of the Republic of Uganda, as Chief Guest. Her photograph is set at the top right of the poster, above the Chief Guest line.
The information bar has also changed. Where the August poster read 7:00am to midnight, it now reads 7am till late.
Everything else stands as before: 24–25 October 2026 at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds; the theme “Celebrating Heritage, Building the Legacy of Iteso”; the line “Teso to the World”; organised by the Iteso Cultural Union (ICU) in collaboration with Government; the same partner marks along the foot; and the same information line, 0772 877 339.
The Vice President’s attendance is stated on the poster. The programme itself is set out in six signature experiences; the hour-by-hour running order for each day has not been published yet.
