Abstract
This study explores the impact of the Nyege Nyege festival on crime rates in the area of Itanda
Falls. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional approach, crime data from local law enforcement

investigates whether the festival influences crime dynamics and aims to provide insights for
event safety and security management. Descriptive and comparative analyses are employed, with
ethical considerations and potential limitations addressed. Findings contribute to understanding
the relationship between festivals and crime rates, offering valuable guidance for local
authorities, event organizers, and policymakers. Ultimately, the study fosters safer festival
environments while celebrating cultural vibrancy.
