The year 2025 comes to a close, and all of our memories are neatly wrapped with it. Here are five things to do on Jamhuri Day and the long weekend ahead to enjoy the holidays.
Catch a flick
Whether indoors or outdoors. Parents Africa has the best flick picks for the season. Enjoy some time with the best entertainment has to offer: from family flicks to romance recommendations.
Join the patriotic masses
Live in the moment. Ditch the tech and rely on your keen senses. Take a tour of Nyayo Stadium and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. If Kenya is known for one thing, it is for its unpredictable nature, so stay safe out there.
Nairobi Regional Commissioner Gilbert Kitiyo stated on December 11th, 2025,
“For us to have smooth traffic flow and peaceful celebrations tomorrow, the following arrangements have been made to ensure security and safety for all.’’

Stay at home and recharge
As fun as it is to take part in the national uproar. Not everyone has the zeal to match the charisma of other patriots and enthusiasts, and that’s perfectly okay.
Choosing to stay in allows you to recharge your social battery, spend time with family, or round up stray tasks. There is no ideal way to spend your holiday; only that you enjoy it.
Sleep in
Have you been getting up early and turning in late, sacrificing your rest for a better cause? This Jamhuri Day, you can regain all those Z’s.
You can map out a schedule, sleep in from dawn till dusk, or nap prolifically throughout your long weekend. Your time is in your hands; all you have to do is sleep on it.
Rearrange your space
Is your space truly your own? Or has it become its own habitat? A biome you bypass in your day-to-day encounters.
Jamhuri Day is about independence, the struggle to break free.
Whether it is an outdated furniture lineup or a full-scale makeover, you will enjoy taking the liberty to make your space truly feel like home.
