THE much-loved St. John’s Spring Fair, hosted at St. John’s College in Borrowdale this coming weekend, September 6-7, has blossomed from a modest one-day gathering into one of Harare’s most anticipated family events.
This year, the two-day celebration promises not only community spirit and entertainment but also an impressive showcase of some of the most exciting vehicles on the Zimbabwean market.
Each September, parents, pupils, and neighbours come together with local businesses to enjoy food, crafts, shopping, live performances — and for motoring enthusiasts, a vibrant car exhibition.
Mitsubishi to make a statement
Mitsubishi is set to be one of the standout brands. Visitors can look forward to the Mitsubishi ASX, a family-friendly compact SUV admired for its sleek design, smart interior, and advanced safety systems, alongside the Mitsubishi Triton, a rugged yet comfortable pickup perfectly suited for both work and lifestyle.
Adding to the attraction, Mitsubishi brand ambassador and Zimbabwe Rugby Captain Hilton Mudariki will be in attendance, giving fans the chance to meet him in person. There’s also buzz that popular musician Tamy Moyo, a fellow Zimoco ambassador, may make a special guest appearance.

We believe these vehicles will resonate with families looking for both performance and comfort.”
Chery SUVs in the Spotlight
Chery Zimbabwe will also be making waves with its Tiggo SUV line. The nimble Tiggo 4 Pro, the versatile Tiggo 7 Pro Max, and the spacious, three-row Tiggo 8 Pro Max are all set to impress with their mix of comfort, advanced features, and affordability.
Sales and Marketing Manager Rutendo Chabururuka added: “Our Tiggo series offers versatility and advanced features that cater to the modern family. We’re excited to highlight how Chery combines safety, style, and technology”.
More than a car show
While the cars are certainly a headline attraction, the St. John’s Spring Fair is about far more. Families can enjoy games, live performances, artisan crafts, and stalls serving up a variety of delicious food. It is an inclusive, festive atmosphere designed to bring people together and celebrate community.
Whether you are a car enthusiast eager for the latest models or simply looking for a vibrant family day out, the St. John’s Spring Fair promises to deliver a memorable, well-rounded experience.
