Dear Zimfest Friends, Supporters and Members,
As we approach the end of another year, we want to take a moment to thank you for making the 2025 festival such a joyful celebration of Zimbabwean music. Zimfest would not be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of our community.
Relive the magic of Zimfest! Check out a highlight from this year’s festival here.
While there won’t be a festival in 2026, we’re already laying the groundwork for an unforgettable 2027 weekend. We also want to share that the festival operated at a loss of just over $4,000 this past year — a reminder of how much we rely on the continued support of our community to keep Zimfest strong and sustainable. Your contributions allow us to invite exceptional Zimbabwean teachers and performers, both new and returning, to share their talents each year.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to show your love for Zimfest by making a tax-deductible donation or by joining or renewing your membership in the Zimfest Association. Every contribution — large or small — helps sustain the festival, support visiting artists, and keep this Zimfest going strong year after year.
