Livingstone Festival
This celebration, which began in 1994, brings together traditional rulers from all of Zambia's provinces, as well as guests who are allowed to learn about their tribe's traditions. Musicians, painters, poets, and dramatists are all represented at this event.
Livingstone Festival is one of the most famous festivals in Zambia. In fact, it is Zambia's largest celebration. The festival is held in this ancient city and strives to showcase Zambian talent in all areas of the arts. It also hopes to bring in well-known international artists. As a result, travelers make it a point to visit Zambia during the Livingstone Festival. Street carnivals, cultural panoramas, dance lessons, traditional cuisine tastings, crafts displays, supper dances, modern music performances, and a boat excursion on the Zambezi River are just a few of the highlights.
The streets of Livingstone are strewn with performance artists, theater troupes, music groups, jugglers, and clowns during the Livingstone Festival in Zambia. The festival's location is within a few kilometers from the Victoria Falls. This celebration is made even more popular by the presence of this well-known tourist attraction. In most years, the festival takes place in August.
The event in 2008 featured a variety of attractions. Anne Bean and Zhenya Iljon, two well-known British performance artists, devised a remarkable mix of music, sculpture, and performance. Andrew Buckland and Lionel Newton, two award-winning South African actors, also performed at the event. They performed The Wellbeing, which gained critical acclaim in Stockholm and at the Harare International Festival of the Arts.
