The Zanzibar Gathering is a one-of-a-kind experience, different from any festival or typical holiday. It is a special occasion where people who enjoy the same music come together.

The adventure begins.
We gather from all over the world on this small island to recharge our batteries by dancing, exchanging smiles and sharing this paradise under the sun.
The format of this event includes daytime parties, club events and special experiences. We have plenty of time on the dance floor, as well as enough time to enjoy everything else Zanzibar has to offer. Are you ready?

This project is a collaboration between
Butik, Lighthouse and Why?Not.
The events will take place in Bwejuu, Paje, and Jambiani, all situated on the southeastern coast of Zanzibar.
We have selected a range of accommodation options where, as a Zanzibar Gathering attendee, you can enjoy exclusive rates that we've secured. Be sure to mention that you are part of our gathering when booking to receive the quoted prices.
Tiki Beach is reserved exclusively for our guests, while other accommodations remain open to the public. However, we've arranged special rates that are better than those available on booking platforms.

The Gathering spans 8 days and features multiple events at various locations. While the program primarily focuses on musical events, there will also be other activities where we can gather and get to know each other. There are two rest days in between because, after all, it's a vacation!
We have both daytime and nighttime events planned. The two clubbing nights—opening and closing—will be held at the Why?Not club. This venue has been a partner of Zanzibar Gathering since the event's inception in 2022. Since then, Why?Not club has put Zanzibar on the map as a new hub for underground electronic music, renowned for its spectacular sunrise views.
Another highlight is the villa party at Masai Mara, which starts in the afternoon and continues late into the night. If you don't feel like dancing, you can take a dip in the pool or relax on loungers, enjoying the sea breeze.
We are also planning more events that will be announced shortly.
In addition to the main events, we've organized some special experiences during the Gathering. You can choose to participate in as many as you like or take it easy and explore the island at your own pace.
One of the most talked-about experiences is the Sandbank party, and for good reason. It's an extraordinary experience — dancing to our favorite DJs on a small sandy island that gets even smaller as the tide rises, surrounded by like-minded people from all over the world.
The catamaran trip offers a truly intimate experience, where we spend the day at sea, enjoying great music, delicious seafood, refreshing drinks, and dips in the tropical waters.
We also organize a Group dinner and BBQ evening, offering a chance to bond and connect with other attendees.
There are some more interesting ideas for extra experiences still in the process, we will share them with you when we get all necessary information.
Please note that all extra experiences have limited capacity, are sold separately, and are not included in the general Gathering ticket. These experiences are exclusively available to Zanzibar Gathering attendees.
We will organize daily yoga sessions for all participants because nothing feels better than a good stretch after a night out. More information will be announced soon.
If you're up for something extra, this part of Zanzibar also offers you a chance to learn kiting. You can also join one of the tours to explore the island, or simply relax at the beach.
While some events have fixed dates, others are still being finalized. Here's a draft overview of what's planned for the Zanzibar Gathering. Please note that there are 2 rest days with no parties during these 8 days.
