Livingstone - Event

The annual Livingstone Festival showcases Zambian talent in all areas of the arts, as well as featuring acts from abroad.

During the festival the streets of the little town are taken over by theatrical troupes, performance artists, music groups, jugglers and clowns. There is also live music on offer, from blues, reggae and rhumba through to a capella.

The festival aims to highlight the massive AIDS epidemic that faces Africa, with discussions and lectures on the subject.

The event is Zambia's biggest festival and its cause is helped by the natural spectacle of the Victoria Falls down the road.
