Costs Food South Sudan Backpacking in Torit Trade Fair 👀 For curious travelers festival ranked #9 By Johan Kruseman 🇳🇱 | Updated May 15, 2026 Ten years ago, Torit Trade Fair was a chaotic, dust-choked sprawl—half market, half block party, with goat herders, traders, and drummers all vying for your attention. Today, it’s slicker but still raw: a pulsing, open-air festival on the edge of Torit town in South Sudan’s Eastern Equatoria, where the red earth meets the main road. The fair is a collision of local commerce and cultural pride, heavy on Afrobeat and South Sudanese pop, with a crowd that’s equal parts business-minded locals, curious aid workers, and a handful of wide-eyed travelers. Expect a boisterous, sun-baked vibe, plenty of grilled meat, and a festival that runs for several days—long enough to get lost in the rhythm, but short enough to keep you hungry for more. Worth it if you crave real, unvarnished energy; skip it if you want polished comfort. Discover everything you want to know in the 📖  South Sudan Travel Guide . Organized yearly : in   December Daily cost:   USD50 to 100 Duration:   5 days Safety warning The current risk level for South Sudan is high. Check the advice before going.
