Kampala embraces the art of the unhurried Sunday

What the report says

Kampala’s Sunday leisure scene was highlighted at Thrones Lounge, where The Singleton’s Big Meeting returned for its September edition and drew guests for an afternoon built around food, music, cocktails and conversation. Sqoop Uganda reported that the event took place on the last Sunday of the month, offering a relaxed alternative to the city’s usual late-night social format.

The gathering featured a lineup of DJs and performers, including Kamali, DJ Tutu, DJ Big E, Em That Guy, Ursh Trey, Adele Kiele and Saint Trevor. Chef Sir Aludah handled the food side of the experience, with grilling described as an important part of the afternoon. The event’s structure encouraged attendees to linger, socialize and move between brunch-style dining and the dance floor without a rushed schedule.

According to Sqoop Uganda, The Singleton also used the occasion to showcase its whisky and cocktail experience through an interactive, do-it-yourself concept guided by mixologists. The report framed the event as part of a broader shift in Kampala’s social habits, where daytime gatherings such as brunches and garden parties are becoming increasingly popular among professionals, creatives and social groups seeking a more casual way to connect.

More broadly, the article suggests that Kampala’s entertainment culture is expanding beyond conventional nightlife, with Sunday afternoons emerging as a growing space for leisure and brand-led experiences.
