The story

Victoria Falls Zambia Culture Festival in Livingstone/Victoria Falls

This listing most closely matches the Livingstone International Cultural and Arts Festival, Zambia's largest cultural festival, held annually near Victoria Falls with a street carnival, traditional food tasting, dance and a Zambezi River boat cruise, rather than a separately confirmed event named Victoria Falls Zambia Culture Festival.

Victoria Falls draws visitors to Livingstone from across the world, and Zambia's tourism authorities have used that pull to build the Livingstone International Cultural and Arts Festival, promoted as the country's biggest festival, into an annual showcase of national heritage staged just a few kilometers from the falls.
