Afternoon Concerts
Afternoon concerts are free! No tickets are needed; just show up. Enjoy the African Marketplace too.
Evening Concerts
All evening concerts are inside in the Pacific Room of the Werner University Center. Please note that the 2019 Sunday evening concert will be free, by donation only. This is to allow all visiting Zimbabweans, including those holding the B-1 visitor’s visa, to be able to perform in a concert free and open to the public as the visa requires. Please donate generously if you attend the Sunday evening concert!

Zimfest is grateful to all performers who opt to donate the cost of concert tickets rather than claim free admission.
