Is the graffiti workshop safe for food festival attendees?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your festival outfit clean. Our professional artists use spray paints that are safe for outdoor use in well-ventilated festival grounds. We also conduct a quick safety briefing before starting to ensure everyone handles the cans correctly while having the time of their lives in Dire Dawa.

Do I need to be an artist to join the fun?

No prior experience is needed at all! Our Graffitifun artists are experts at breaking down the basics for beginners. We guide you through everything from holding the can to creating clean lines and shadows. Whether you think you are artistic or not, we guarantee you will walk away from our booth feeling like a street art pro.

Is this activity suitable for kids and families?

Yes, we believe creativity has no age limit! We have special low-pressure cans for younger children and simplified techniques so everyone can join in. It is a fantastic way for families at the Dire Dawa food festival to bond and create something vibrant together. We make sure the environment is supervised and fun for all ages.

Can we take our creations home with us?

We offer two main styles: collaborative murals where everyone adds to a massive festival masterpiece, or individual canvas sessions where you take your art home. For food festivals, the collaborative wall is a huge hit as it creates a permanent memory of the event that grows throughout the day as more people participate.

How long does a typical session last?

The workshop duration is flexible to fit the festival flow. A quick 'drop-in' session can take 15 to 20 minutes, while a more deep-dive creative experience usually lasts about 1 to 2 hours. We design our setup so festival-goers can hop in, spray some color, and go back to enjoying their delicious Ethiopian snacks.

Do you provide workshops in other cities besides Dire Dawa?

We are fully mobile! While we love the energy in Dire Dawa, our team travels across Ethiopia to cities like Addis Ababa and Hawassa. We bring all the necessary equipment, including mobile walls, paints, and protection, to your specific festival location. Just let us know where the party is, and we will be there!

How far in advance should we book for a festival?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak festival seasons in Dire Dawa. Ideally, reaching out 3-4 weeks in advance ensures we can reserve your preferred dates and prepare enough materials for your expected crowd. However, we love a challenge—if you have a last-minute event, contact us and we will see if our backup artists are available!

Local culture

Dire Dawa, the "Queen City of the East," has always been a melting pot of cultures thanks to its historic railway and vibrant markets like Ashawa. This diversity makes it the perfect backdrop for street art. The city's unique architecture and warm, laid-back atmosphere naturally invite creative expression. When the sun hits the colorful walls of the city, there's a certain energy that you won't find anywhere else in Ethiopia. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, blending modern street art techniques with the traditional hospitality Dire Dawa is known for.

Fun Fact: Did you know Dire Dawa was built as a modern industrial hub for the Ethio-Djibouti Railway? That "industrial-cool" vibe is exactly why graffiti looks so epic here! 🚂✨

Pricing

Our festival entertainment is as flexible as your menu! Pricing typically ranges from:

Br1,500 - Br3,500 per person

*Note: Final pricing depends on the group size, duration of the activation, and the volume of materials needed to make your event legendary.
