From September 10–13, 2025, Fort Portal will host the Ekyooto Ha Mpango Festival marking King Oyo’s 30th coronation anniversary.
King Oyo Rukidi IV became monarch at the age of just three years old, making history as one of the youngest reigning kings ever.
Since 1995, King Oyo has upheld culture, promoted education, improved healthcare, and enhanced tourism in the vibrant Tooro Kingdom.
