The Annual Castle Lager Braai Day Festival will return to Glamis Arena on Saturday, 17 October 2026, bringing together music, braai culture and shared experiences in one of the country’s most anticipated lifestyle events.
The festival will bring friends together for a memorable celebration of music, braai culture and shared experiences, complemented by ice-cold Castle Lager.
This year’s edition will showcase an exciting line-up of more than ten local artists and DJs. The programme will be headlined by some of Zimbabwe’s leading performers, including Winky D, Ex Q and Enzo Ishall, alongside emerging talents such as Jnr Spragga, Atenda Chinx and DJ Loz.
This blend of established and upcoming artists reflects Castle Lager’s continued commitment to supporting and celebrating Zimbabwean music talent.
In the lead-up to the Castle Lager Braai Day Festival, consumers will have an opportunity to participate in nationwide trade activations at popular braai venues.
Event tickets, chilled Castle Lager and a range of other prizes will be available to be won as excitement builds towards the main event.
A key feature of this year’s festival will be the introduction of the “Castle Braai O’Clock” activation, an immersive group experience scheduled from 3.00 pm to 4.00 pm.
The activation will include the ultimate braai master contest and other engaging competitions, with Castle Lager merchandise and additional prizes on offer.
