This family-centric festival offers a diverse range of music spanning decades and genres, alongside delicious food and drinks. The entertainment kicks off at 4 p.m. with Pendo Masote, a talented young violinist from a renowned musical family, and the Hellenic Orchestra.

Following this, at 4:50 p.m., local artist and actress Thamsanqa "Tamy" Moyo will take the stage. The evening continues with Sunset Sweatshop, a South African rock band with reggae and folk influences, performing at 6 p.m. Legendary South African Afropop band Mango Groove, known for their fusion of pop and township music, will play at 7 p.m., followed by the trailblazing Afropop duo Mafikizolo at 8 p.m.

Zimstock stands out as one of the year's largest music festivals, celebrating music, art, and culture while providing a spacious environment at Hellenic Primary School, located on Borrowdale Road, just before Celebration Centre.

Gates opened at midday, with tickets priced around US$25, granting general admission and full access to the Kidzone for all children. There is no charge for children under two years old.
