Kaleidoscope March 2027.
Stay at the festival
The festival grounds are at the Temple Point hotel. A room there is the most comfortable way to do Kaleidoscope — a short walk from the stages, and yours from the first night to the last. Stay for the festival, or come early, stay on after and make a holiday of it.

Kaleidoscope takes over Temple Point, a hotel on the banks of Mida Creek, just outside Watamu. Mangroves line the far bank, the sun deck sits on the rocks above the water, and the resort’s dhow goes out on the creek. House, afro-house and Afro-tech run until sunrise; the mornings are for the water.
The creek
Boats go out past the mangroves on the far bank.
The dhow

The sun deck
