Festivals play a huge role in the promotion and preservation of culture and Zambians have more than 20 festivals annually. Each of these festivals carries a tradition that Zambians hold dearly, and they portray their spiritual culture, customs, oral history, social life, and more.
Although these festivals are celebrated at different times, it is a way in which the people pass their traditions and customs from one generation to the next and share it with the world.
