During the Kankurang Festival, Musa`s Garden with The Women`s Collective will be expanding on our mini fest held last year by hosting a mini “on the edge” festival in the garden. The vibe will be chilled with some fun thrown in, so come and relax or join in some of the activities, you can even bring your own tent for a small charge. Food and drinks including cocktails will be available throughout the day. You can even sing your way to a free cocktail!

Musa`s Garden Lodge is a riverside lodge in Janjanbureh with stunning views of the river and surrounded with nature.

The women’s collective is a group that teach arts and crafts skills to other women who need their own financial independence due to domestic violence
