Once upon a time...

... there was a group of people who realised some very important facts:
  • Victoria Falls is very very hot in October and you need a lot of liquid refreshment to keep cool
  • Our favourite liquid refreshment of choice is icy cold beer - especially our local Zambezi - with a glass of chilled wine second on the list
  • A great drink deserves a great snack to go with it
  • We all know how to throw and enjoy a really good party
Once all of these vital facts were combined, the future for October was clear - VICTORIA FALLS BEERFEST!! We would like to invite you to join us in doing what Zimbabweans and more than a few visitors to Zimbabwe do best - party to great music, consume lots and lots of liquid refreshment and celebrate the month of October in Vic Falls.

We have set the 23rd of October as the date for this gathering in honour of the mighty hop and we'll start the party at 4pm and go until 10am the next day - after all, 24 hours at least is needed to truely do this beverage justice. We've got the best local Djs and bands playing including Dj Spevar, Dj Easy T and Dj Francis with live drumming shows, fire poi displays, stilt walkers, cage dancers and just about anything else we can think of. There'll be a general public area available to all ticket holders and a VIP lounge area for VIP ticket holders and great food will be available all party long to keep your energy up.

Over the next few weeks leading up to the beerfest, all of the contributors will be posting info about what they'll be up to and what to look forward to so keep checking in.

  7. Is there a thing such as a festival season anymore??? They just don't stop springing up.... But we are not complaining... What better way to beat the Vic Falls heat than lose yourself in amongst hundreds...even thousands of ravers? If titanic crowds are your thing then fear not, we have just the night for you here. Sat the 23rd of October, The Vic Falls beerfest. Lots of food beer, beats & basslines! An event that should go on till midday (thats if anyone is still standing)on the 24th. I wll throw an absolutely different set, that will keep everyone at the edge of their seats, or better still tip of their toes; hands in the air ; screaming their lungs out...try to envision the scenery...the Carnival atmosphere, with DJ EAZY T in the mix. "Can't wait to hear what he is gonnaplay next!" I can almost hear someone exclaim. I have relived these scenes so many times in my head and the 23rd is the day we put them to practice.

    Not to forget my "pardners" in crime who are also promising "fireworx!" If all goes according to plan I wonder if anyone will be up in Vic Falls the next day. Everyone will be there.... if you were planning on takin a raincheck then u will mos def be left out!!!

    SEE YOU THERE!
