BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Music, laughter, and splendour will fill Peak Gardens in Lilongwe on Sunday as top local artists Kelly Kay, Eli Njuchi, Praise Umali, Fada Moti, and Temwa take the stage for a day packed with entertainment, fun, and relaxation.
The performances will headline National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc’s Family Day, a celebration designed to appreciate employees, customers, and stakeholders while promoting work-life balance and community engagement.
The event, to be hosted by renowned MBC Radio 2 DJ, Joy Nathu, is scheduled to run from 6 am to 5 pm and promises a vibrant mix of live music, cultural showcases, and wellness activities for all ages.

“It’s also an opportunity to celebrate Mo626, which has transformed digital banking in Malawi by offering secure and convenient financial solutions,” said Hiwa.
Apart from the music performances, the event will also feature yoga sessions, financial literacy games for children, and a relaxation lounge for families to unwind.
