HARARE — Castle Lager is celebrating a major milestone this year, proudly marking a decade of bringing the nation together through the beloved Castle Lager National Braai Festival.
To honour this 10th anniversary, the brand is rolling out an exciting series of “Micro Castle Lager Braai” events, taking the celebration directly to the people in 10 cities across Zimbabwe.
These smaller-scale braai events are running every weekend leading up to the main festival, creating a nationwide countdown to the big day on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Each micro event will feature a diverse lineup of local artists and DJs, blending great music, delicious braai, and the classic taste of Castle Lager.
It’s an opportunity for friends and families to come together and celebrate what has become a cherished national tradition.
But the festivities are more than just a party.
In a generous act of community support, Castle Lager will donate 10 state-of-the-art hospital beds to a local hospital in each of the 10 cities hosting a micro braai event.
This initiative underscores the brand’s long-standing commitment to giving back to the communities that have supported it for over 130 years.
The series of micro events will culminate in the grand finale: the ultimate Castle Lager Braai on October 18, 2025, at Glamis Arena in Harare.
The main event promises a spectacular celebration with vibrant local and international entertainment, mouthwatering food, and the unmistakable spirit of camaraderie that defines the Castle Lager Braai experience.
