As Nairobi is preparing for a landmark cultural Agave Affair event on 25 July 2026 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), many people are asking themselves, who is the ideal person to attend the event?
This event is a partnership between Radio Africa Events and the KICC. It is described as Nairobi's first true homage to tequila.
The Ideal Guest List
The event targets over 2,000 guests. Anyone from young professionals, creatives, to mixology enthusiasts can attend the event. These are the most influential tequila adopters in the city.
The guest list accommodates industry professionals looking to connect in a relaxed setting. It also welcomes lifestyle enthusiasts and first-time explorers. If you enjoy refined lifestyle experiences, this event is for you.
Organisers have a specific vision for the women attending. They are looking for lifestyle influencers and fashion icons. These guests should come prepared to express their tequila personality through fashion.
The dress code is "Agave Chic." This includes earthy tones and agave greens. Women should arrive in "boho-chic" styles like flowy wear, hats, linen sets, and denim with flair. Specific outfit ideas include The Fiesta Floral Mini or The Tequila Sunrise Silk Slip.
Because the event is on the KICC lawns, practical footwear is key. Women should opt for block heels or elegant flat sandals over stilettos. Accessories should reflect desert glam.
Etiquette for First-Timers
As this is a premium experience, first-time guests should follow a few simple rules. Always hold your drink in your left hand. This keeps your right hand free for handshakes and networking.
The goal is to discover new brands. Attendees are encouraged to leave having discovered at least 3 new tequila experiences. Pacing is also important. Experts suggest the "1:1 rule," which means drinking one full glass of water for every alcoholic beverage.
A Star-Studded Lineup
The entertainment features a curated sonic journey. DJ Festa, known as "The Big Man," joins the lineup alongside DJ Chunky Love, "The Hype Master."
They join a star-studded cast including DJ Tophaz, also called "Mr. 5ive Star," and DJ Mista C. International Amapiano star DJ Big Chipi and Tha Daqchild, the "King of Good Times," will also perform. The event is hosted by James Kibunja, "The Only MC with an LLB."
