Teso Kampala Carnival is an idea that was initiated by Teso at Heart members on November 5th 2015 as an annual event aimed at uniting Iteso in the central UGANDA with the rest of the ateker groups, make other Co-existing tribes to learn about the ITESO culture, create a platform for nurturing Iteso children born outside Teso to know much about their identity and to create a platform under which Iteso can network and give back to their communities.

Unlike other events where ITESO only meet at night, the organisers of the TESO Kampala carnival opted to have it as a day time event that ushers itself to night, to cater for the families that would love to come with their little ones and leave at an opportune time for other family responsibilities.

According to Mr. Isaac Olupot, the chief organizer, the carnival was initiated by the Iteso at Heart WhatsApp group members on November 2015 to among others unite Iteso, promote and preserve their cultures as well as exchange business ideas with the rest of the country who would attend the event.
