The celebration will bring together stakeholders from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania to highlight the importance of Lake Victoria to millions of people.

Activities will include cultural events, environmental campaigns, and policy discussions focused on protecting the lake.

Environmental groups are using the platform to push for stronger conservation measures to address pollution and declining fish stocks.

The event is also expected to boost tourism in Kisumu, attracting visitors from across the region.
