Evening falls –people still around
posted by Liana Giorgi.
It is dark already, and it is getting cooler. The crowds are thinning out, but the pavilions are still full – this is concert time (Jane Birkin on Saturday, Hugh Masakela on Tuesday) or the hour for stand-up comedy (Sharia Mirza gives a hilarious performance on Sunday and on Monday Carrie Quinlan hosts festival stars to raise money for the upcoming Nairobi festival). The festival day only finishes around midnight and most of the food halls, and indeed the bookshop, stay open till around 11:00 pm.
