From 29th April to 2nd May 2022, the green historical town of Zomba in Southern Malawi will be the backdrop of the 2nd edition of Zomba City Festival.
Entering its second year, the concept of the festival is to have visitors moving from one venue to the other with entertainment for all ages found at various lodges and public spaces. There will be arts & culture, sports and kids activities spread over town; from Art in the Park with a visual art exhibition and food fair in the Botanic Gardens to live music at Pakachere Lodge, yoga, theatre, poetry, hiking, and much more.
Early bird tickets are now on sale at 16,000MK per person. VIP packages are also available which include a fantastic array of extras! Enjoy a welcome cocktail, coffee tasting, goodie back (with a voucher for Pakachere, Afrochoc chocolate, t-shirt and more) access to VIP lounges, VIP shuttle service, artist meet and greet, fashion show VIP seating, mountain bike or golf class, sim card, access to Sunbird swimming pool, and VIP at the Mixed Booze & BBQ, all for a fantastic price of 100,000MK.
The multiple events will showcase the plethora of amazing locations in Zomba. Visitors will have a range of options on what to experience and where to go, safe in the knowledge that no venue will be overcrowded, with the majority of events taking place outdoors and introducing extra measures for the safety of attendees due to COVID-19.
“People are often overlooking Zomba as a destination, when it has so much to offer. That is one of the reasons we thought the festival was a great way to put the city on the map again,” Annelies de Bruine, one of the organisers said when creating the festival in 2021. Zomba City Festival is organised by Zomba Arts Platform (ZAP), a not for profit business supporting and enhancing the creative sector in Malawi.
Festival accommodation can be booked via Pakachere. Explore Zomba, and enjoy Malawi talent on stage and the beautiful nature that Zomba District has to offer.
The organisers are currently seeking vendors for the event. All inclusive stalls are available at 38,000MK which includes a table, electricity, and 2 tickets for stall runners, and a ‘No thrills’ stalls package is available for 20,000MK which includes a stall space, and 1 ticket for the stall runner. There are 4 day spots available for products, and 3 day spots for food & beverages. Interested parties should Whatsapp the organisers on 883 688 530.
