Nyama Choma, Machines and Music: Nax Vegas serves up the ultimate party plot this weekend

Nax Vegas is heating up this weekend, and it's not just the weather. If you were planning to hide under your duvet all weekend, we suggest you reconsider.

From revving engines to Nyama Choma and stars studded performances, this June 14, weekend is set to be a festival of vibes.

Let's break it down!

Get ready for the best driver challenge, kicking off the weekend at full throttle at the Rift Valley Sports Club. Powered by AA Kenya, this is the biggest driving competition in Nakuru.

Kenya’s most skilled drivers will take to the track in the hope of being crowned the best, with the grand prize being a fully paid trip to Dubai and the chance to represent Kenya at the African Championship.

A fully paid trip to Dubai, plus the chance to represent Kenya at the African Championship!

Major bragging rights! But wait, there's more!

Other category winners will drive off with: Cash prizes, gift hampers, trophies and certificates, a relaxing spa package, defensive driving training, a trip to the Maasai Mara, and, yes, mbuzi. Gates open at 8 am.

In the spirit of Father's Day, Jades Hekiman has a gentleman's plan: fuel up for "Choma for Men" this Father's Day weekend.

It's not just any choma event: it's a gentlemen's BBQ lounge complete with cocktails, grills and gin to keep things warm. The menu? A meat-lover's dream: Mbuzi, beef, chicken and pork choma.

Every man gets a free cocktail with their first purchase. Treat yourself or your dad – he deserves it!

When the sun sets, Nakuru’s nightlife comes alive.

The Saturday Groove at Wave XO Nakuru, hosted by Willy M Tuva and Don Twamo, is a great place to start, with live performances from Tanzania’s Ibraah and top-tier mixes from DJs Sami Flinch, Veryl Mkali Wao, and MC Guru.

Expect Afrobeats, Bongo and club bangers until late.

But that's not all! It is believed that Avril, the queen of Kenyan pop, will be gracing the stage at Space Next Door. If you've missed her voice, presence or legendary stage energy, here's your chance to see her live in Nakuru.

At Platinum 7D, they're taking it back to the old school with bongo. Dubbed the Sunday Skool Brunch, DJ Reihnherd, DJ Silky, and DJ Lito will take you back to an era when bongo songs from Tanzania and Kenya were all the rage.

And let's be honest, it's not every weekend that Avril and Ibraah are in the same city.

There are plenty of other fun activities to enjoy: The Hideout is hosting a pool tournament, and Kijani Kafe is holding its Friday Game Night, where you can win prizes.

There's something for everyone in Nakuru this weekend. Whether you're a racing fan, a foodie, a party animal or a dad looking for a well-deserved treat, Nakuru has it covered.

And what's better than reading about it? Living it!
