Details
Culture Exchange. African Unity. One Celebration.
The ZIM-ZED-ZAR-NAIJA Heritage Festival is a vibrant celebration of African culture, music, creativity and connection, bringing together communities from Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Nigeria for one unforgettable experience in Johannesburg.
Taking place during South Africa’s Heritage Month, the festival creates a platform where four distinct but deeply connected African cultures come together through live music, DJs, fashion, food, art, cultural dialogue and creative entrepreneurship.
Expect an energetic day and night featuring performances from some of the most exciting artists representing Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Nigeria, alongside African-inspired fashion and accessory stalls, cultural activations, networking opportunities and a premium VIP experience.
More than just a music event, ZIM-ZED-ZAR-NAIJA is about celebrating what connects us as Africans — our languages, rhythms, traditions, creativity, stories and shared values.
