Lusaka’s hippest partygoers will be heading to Portico in the Showgrounds on Saturday (September 24) for the next installment of the Flying Fish beach party.
The capital is expected to attract thousands following a similar event earlier this month in Kitwe when music-loving sun-worshipping revellers showed up at what some are calling one of the area’s biggest ever social events.
Following the success of last year’s beach festival, organisers of the event are planning to transport the city’s coolest socialites to a tropical seashore, complete with sand, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, towels, music, prizes and related activities such as beach volleyball, Zorbo and light football to cool ‘add some flavour’ hair cuts and Flying Fish temporary tattoos.
The beach festival will be the premier destination for party-lovers seeking the quality festive atmosphere usually found in European hotspots. Upon entering, guests will be treated to a lush Caribbean oasis complete with beach sand and palm trees.
Entertainment is from top acts including DJ Sebastien Dutch, and international maestro DJ Cleo, DJ Kuks, Psycho Tash, DJ Cheyo, DJ Blocks, DJ Sichation and Nexus Reggae Band.
Zambian Breweries, which distributes Flying Fish beer, hosts the occasion, with company bosses urging party-goers to conducted themselves responsibly both during the event and afterwards.
Flying Fish is all about trying something new and about finding inspiration in the ordinary. It’s a twist on the familiar, spontaneously adding just that little something extra to the everyday,” said Zambian Breweries managing director Annabelle Degroot. “That’s why we’re having another beach party in landlocked Zambia. Following the success we had at last year’s event in Lusaka”
Meanwhile, corporate affairs director Ezekiel Sekele said: “Zambian Breweries seeks to bring refreshment and sociability within the context of responsibility. We would like to urge all our guests for enjoying their drinks responsibly and for co-operating with officials from the Road Transport and Safety Authority,” he added.
Flying Fish itself is all about trying something new – about finding inspiration in the ordinary. It is a twist on the familiar, while spontaneously adding just that little extra something to the everyday.
Flying Fish premium flavoured beer comes in Pressed Lemon and Chilled Green Apple, and is the alternative choice for everyday inspiration, because Flying Fish combines the pure refreshment of beer with interesting flavours and fresh aromas for a new, delicious and easy drinking experience.
Under 18s will not be admitted to the beach fest, which starts at 14hrs. Tickets are K50 at the gate. More details are available on Facebook at @flyingfishzambia

At least once in a while. I like the flavor of the lager. It tastes like a Cider with less HOs effects. I wish could be there.
Edgar Wrungu will definately be there.
Just give us back our Mosi which you have killed with Castle lite
Don’t get too excited as a petition is underway to block the hosting of the fishers. We will leave no court unvisited, come what may. We will even reach the Internation Court of Justice if that’s what it takes Mulimbe.
will condoms be on sale too. ???
Brother/Sister LUTUKU PRESDOR:
Insulting the Presidency( Office ) will never solve any challenge we are facing as a Country.Kindly sober up and be real respective Zambians we know.These insults of calling the President Names started way back in 2015 to date you have continued.In Tanzania and Kenya 2 Citizens were arrested and charged for defaming the President on Face book but here in Zambia is the water you Drink please stop and respect the Presidency.When you are followed and arrested you still want to cry foul………..just be real and let us all support the government of the day and move the country forward.
Brother Popopo has talked sense. I think it’s about time knew when to campaign, and time to move on to constructive criticism. It just doesn’t make sense insulting the president even on an issue that doesn’t concern him. What does Flying Fish got to do with the president or the event for that matter ? And when you get “fished out ” then you start crying foul calling it victimisation . Please be respectful of authority , like or not he is the president for the next five years.
You have talked. The current president is the president for ALL Zambians. Hence he deserves to be respected. Insulting him will result in insulters like some oppositions facing the Law. Be careful.
@ Popopo you are the man.
