Hello all,
The Zimfest excitement (and logistical issues) are building! Latest developments and reminders:
- Those who missed the registration deadline and have inquired about whether dorm rooms will be available to rent on-site, your wish has been granted! There were seven remaining rooms, all doubles, that had not been rented. We are still working out the details with CWU, so check with Zimfest Registration desk starting Thursday at noon – check the Festival Schedule for registration hours. The price for these rooms may turn out to be higher because of the late date.
- The description for the Session 4 workshop Exploring Mbira DzaVadzimu taught by Lino Piloto initially stated that it would be taught in G-tuning mbira-s. This is incorrect, it will be taught in Magaya standard tuning mbira. A number of Magaya tuning mbiras will be provided; you are welcome to bring one if you can.
- The weather report for the first day of Zimfest 2025 shows a moderate temperature of 75 and wind; a reminder to vendors to weigh down your canopies (no staking allowed) and campers to fully secure their tents. Heading into the weekend, more typical hotter temperatures are forecast, peaking on Sunday into the 90s! A reminder to bring your sunscreen and water bottles – stay hydrated!
Here’s a preview of what is in store from the Zimfest Marketplace Booth – custom-designed Zimfest 2025 tunics!
See you soon in Ellensburg!
Festival Coordinator Claire and the OC
