Fun lovers are in for a treat next month when the capital hosts two beer festivals in a space of two weeks.
The annual Delta Beverages Lion Lager Summer Beer Festival takes place on October 11 at Glamis Arena while new venue Sunset Arena hosts another beer festival from October 24 to 25.
While organisers of both festivals will be announcing their performers soon, it is obvious that there will be great packages at both events.
Beer festivals usually present fun-filled environments among revellers in addition to bringing good stage performances.
The Lion Lager festival is known for creating such fun among imbibers through promotions and give-away prizes besides hosting local and international artistes. International musicians that have performed at the beer festival include Beenie Man, P Square, Fantan Mojah and D’Banj. The festival brings fun every year.
On the other hand, the Sunset Arena Beer Festival is likely to bring a fresh feel of the social event through various fun activities.
The two-day festival is expected to feature an array of activities that include music performances, exhibitions as well as beer tasting and drinking competitions among others.
The new venue, Sunset Arena, which hosted the Harare Agricultural Show as Guard Alert Training Ground is situated near City Sports Centre on the fringes of Harare Civic Centre Grounds.
Organisers of the event said they had engaged manufacturers of various beer brands to present their products at an exhibition that promises to be fun-filled.
“This is an event meant to provide exciting outdoor entertainment this summer. The shows will just complement a programme that is mainly meant to give beer drinkers an opportunity to mix, mingle and have fun,” said one of the organisers.
“We want to utilise the new venue because we realised it is good for outdoor entertainment after it hosted its inaugural event, the show shut-down gig. A senior music critic in the country suggested we name it Sunset Arena because it is a place that can host afternoon and night shows, especially this summer.”
During the Harare Agricultural Show shutdown event, the venue hosted an array of dancehall artistes that entertained thousands of merrymakers until sunrise.
Organisers of Lion Lager Summer Beer Festival said they would release complete information about the event early next week.
