IT is back — and this time, entry is free to the public! Harare’s beloved motoring celebration is back! The 2025 Westgate Motor Show takes place this Saturday, November 29, from 9am to 4pm, in the Westgate Mall car park, right next to the KFC drive-through.
The event is completely free, and anyone can attend. This year’s edition promises a relaxed, open-air atmosphere for car lovers and families alike — no fences, no pressure, just a day of exploration, excitement and connection.
Last year’s event drew 21 exhibitors and visitors paid to enter. This time, the organisers have opened the gates to the public free of charge — a gesture that is expected to draw an even bigger crowd and make the event accessible to everyone who loves cars, bikes and good family fun.
Bigger, brighter second edition
Now in its second year, the Westgate Motor Show has quickly become a highlight on Zimbabwe’s motoring calendar. Hosted by Automotive Events Africa, the show continues to grow in both scale and reputation, attracting people from all corners of Harare and beyond.
Following the success of the 2024 show, which brought together families, car enthusiasts and professionals from across industries, this year’s edition aims to be bigger, brighter and more interactive.

Family day out
The Westgate Motor Show is not just for petrolheads — it is an event for everyone. The relaxed, family-friendly environment makes it the perfect choice for a sunny Saturday outing.
The open-air venue at Westgate allows visitors to roam freely, chat with exhibitors and enjoy the buzz of the crowd.

For every sector, every interest
The setting at Westgate Mall could not be better. Known for its accessibility and vibrant atmosphere, Westgate has long been a place where people from diverse backgrounds meet — from farmers and miners to executives, parliamentarians and professionals.
The event’s open format encourages meaningful interactions. Visitors can explore new technologies, learn about performance features, and get hands-on experiences with the latest models — all at their own pace, and without the pressure of a traditional showroom.
Community celebration, innovation
According to Automotive Events Africa, the show has evolved into a celebration of Zimbabwean resilience, creativity, and community spirit.
“This show is for everyone who loves cars or simply enjoys a good day out. It’s about creating an experience that blends technology, lifestyle and connection,” a representative from Automotive Events Africa said.
