EZULWINI- Music, culture, refreshment, celebration.
The much-anticipated End of Year Fest (EOYF) 2025 is set to light up The Destination, Ezulwini on Friday, 12 December from 6:00 PM until 6:00 AM.
Now in its second edition, the festival has grown from its debut as End of Term Fest in 2024 into one of Eswatini’s most exciting annual celebrations of music, lifestyle, and community. According to Lindo “Maps” Maphalala, Logistics Manager of the festival, the main purpose of EOYF is to go beyond entertainment.
“The aim of the festival is promoting local talent while also relieving the youth, especially students, from the exhausting times they’ve gone through academically and otherwise. It’s more of a refreshment festival, a way for young people to breathe after a tough year,” said Maphalala.
