A beer festival featuring various entertainment activities has been lined up for Sunset Arena on October 24 and 25.
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.
The two-day festival is expected to feature an array of activities that include music shows, exhibitions and beer tasting competitions among others.
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.
Although the new venue has been christened Sunset Arena to mirror nightlife activities, the two-day festival would begin in the afternoon on both days.
“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 shut-down event, the venue hosted an array of dancehall artistes that entertained thousands of merrymakers until sunset.
The inaugural beer festival is meant to set the pace for next editions as organisers intent to make it an annual event.
The list of this year’s entertainers will be released soon and the organisers say it will be good intense.
