By 2 PM on Saturday, September 13th, 2025, the gates of The Alchemist Bar & Kitchen in Bugolobi had already welcomed streams of Kampala ladies. Not even the heavy Saturday downpour could hold them back. Their determination revealed just how much this event meant. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is more than just another party; it is a safe space created for women, and every edition proves why it matters so deeply.
Across the world, women navigate challenges in almost every space, be it at parties, workplaces, or even in day-to-day life. That reality makes an event dedicated to them, and only them, feel both necessary and empowering. On this Saturday afternoon, The Alchemist transformed into a sanctuary of laughter, freedom, and joy, with the Jeans & Heels Edition giving Kampala’s women a reason to let loose in style.
The ambience was unmistakably electric. The Alchemist’s menu, already known for its enviable offerings, became the perfect companion to an afternoon of indulgence. Cocktails flowed with ease, glasses clinked in celebration, and conversations spilt across tables as women connected with old friends and made new ones.
As the afternoon settled in, DJ Ames, one of Ssese Nation’s fast-rising stars, set the tone. Her carefully chosen ballads created a soulful background, allowing the ladies to savour the exquisite menu while sipping on cocktails fully. The energy was warm, intimate, and immersive. Yet, as every guest quickly realised, this was just the calm before the storm.
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Is A Safe Space
When DJ Scata took over, the mood shifted dramatically. With club bangers loaded in her set, she raised the roof and lit up the dance floor. The women responded instantly, heels kicked into rhythm, denim swayed with attitude, and laughter mixed with beats. The energy in the room was unstoppable, and the safe space turned into a dance haven where every woman felt free.
The night built towards a thrilling climax as Sal Deejay stepped in. With an explosive mix of tracks, he carried the ladies deep into the evening, ensuring no one left without sweating out the week’s stress on the dance floor. By the end, the crowd had danced, toasted, laughed, and lived the promise of what Girls Just Wanna Have Fun stands for: joy, freedom, and unapologetic celebration.
This edition was more than an event. It was a statement that women deserve spaces where they can express themselves without limits. With every cocktail raised, every beat dropped, and every denim-clad step on the dance floor, the message was loud and clear: this is their day, and they owned it completely.
