Music lovers from all walks of life gathered at various outdoor spots in Otjiwarongo to enjoy the music of different genres in celebration of World Music Day.

Otjiwarongo, the heart of the Otjozondjupa Region, put together a music festival through the Directorate of Education, Arts, and Culture.

Microphones, music keyboards, guitars, and drums were the order of the day to bring good melodies and the music of Otjiwarongo musicians to life.

Music lovers in attendance shared their stories about why they love music.

Music can elevate one's mood, reduce stress, and relieve symptoms of depression.

The organisers plan to make the show bigger and better each year.
