The inaugural Nyamazi Bush Festival, a one-of-a-kind celebration of music, adventure, and culinary delights in Nyanga, promises a rich tapestry of unique cultural experiences that will pique your curiosity and inspire you to delve into the festival's offerings.
The organisers liken it to the Victoria Falls Carnival and promise live music, DJ performances, outdoor activities, a diverse food market, and full bar facilities, all amidst the stunning natural backdrop of the Eastern Highlands.
They also want to make it a permanent annual fixture over the Heroes holidays.
Those who like the cocktail of what's on offer, or some of it, will have the opportunity to discover if it lives up to the hype from August 10 to 12 when the festival takes place at Nyamazi Greens, a campsite in Nyanga.
Like the Victoria Falls Carnival, music will be the centrepiece of the Nyamazi fiesta.
Gemma Griffiths headlines on Saturday while other acts on the day are The Tribe, Mannex and Mogamilee, Albinism Konnect, and Fibovation.
Another favourite, Feli Nandi, is Sunday’s main act. The supporting line-up is the same on Sunday, with Bam Bam Madame and Tammy Moyo added to the list.
Deejays, Chucknosis, Spy, Kotwane, Bellaboom, and Paul will be spinning sets that cover a wide range of music genres.
