This is an annual festival we have held successfully over the last 6 years. Zimfest has grown to become one of the biggest African festivals and last year attracted over 5000 people.

What Glasto is to the Brits, Zimfest is to the Zimbos! Without doubt, there is no other fixture in the summer calendar that elicits such passion and excitement. Perhaps the secret is that every penny raised goes to helping people in Zimbabwe? Or perhaps Zimbabweans just miss hanging out together? Whatever… as soon as the word goes out, literally thousands of Zimfestniks nail the date into their diaries.
Zimfest is an event that brings together Zimbabweans from across the cultural spectrum and welcomes non-Zimbabweans who are mad about Zimbabwe. It is the biggest international celebration of Zimbabwean arts, music, sport, great food and culture in one field.

It is also a great opportunity to provide an intimate business setting, structured to give our Zimbabwean and guest businesses the opportunity to promote their products and to market themselves to a vibrant audience.

Every year Zimfest improves in depth and quality and this year is set to be the biggest and best ever. Last year 5000 people turned up and the vibe was truly a one-love experience.

Every year, we prove that Zimbabweans are resilient and that when we work together we create miracles. With this in mind, we are working globally to produce a Worldwide Zimfest movement, the flagship festival being held in Raynes Park, on the 5th of Sepember.
