Lake of Stars 2025: a Greener Future

Empower. Connect. Enrich. Celebrate

Since its debut in 2003, the Lake of Stars Malawi Arts Festival has evolved into one of Africa’s most iconic cultural gatherings. Over the past two decades, it has welcomed thousands of visitors from around the world, received multiple awards, and earned UNESCO recognition for its groundbreaking sustainability practices.

Set along the golden shores of Lake Malawi, the festival offers an unforgettable blend of music, dance, theatre, film, workshops, and visual arts, creating a platform where creativity thrives and cultures meet.

At its heart, Lake of Stars is guided by four pillars:

• Empowerment & Connection: Showcasing Malawian talent while opening doors to global opportunities.
• Tourism & Culture: Promoting Malawi as a vibrant destination full of beauty and creativity.
• Sustainability & Innovation: Stimulating local businesses with eco-conscious practices and leading waste management solutions.
• Community & Storytelling: Sharing the voices of Malawi with the world while supporting and uplifting local communities.

As The Independent once named it, Lake of Stars is among the “Top 20 festivals in the world.” And as The Hotejem wrote, “This festival proves that music and art have the power to transform a place into something truly extraordinary.”
