I stepped into the venue cradling a can of energy drink. I was here not just to sip wine but to experience the magic as Blankets & Wine turned 17. I came ready for the spectacle that had captured hearts for almost two decades.

At the venue, Laureate Gardens at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, lights flickered across the expansive grounds, creating a kaleidoscope that danced on the crowd.
