Welcome to Ghana Day Festival
Celebrating Ghanaian culture with music, dance, and community
Celebrate Ghanaian Heritage
Highlife Music
Ghana’s golden sound — born in the 1920s, blending traditional rhythms with jazz, foxtrot, and calypso. The heartbeat of our festival.
Afrobeat
Fela Kuti’s revolutionary fusion of Yoruba rhythms, jazz, and funk. Powerful, political, and impossible not to dance to.
Makossa
Cameroon’s gift to Africa — sensual, danceable, and rhythmically rich. Popularized by Manu Dibango and embraced across West Africa.
Reggae
Roots, culture, and conscious lyrics. From Bob Marley to Ghana’s own reggae legends, feel the rhythm of resistance and unity.
Traditional Dance
Witness mesmerizing traditional dances that tell stories of Ghanaian heritage, history, and cultural significance passed down through generations.
Ghanaian Cuisine
Savor authentic Ghanaian dishes including jollof rice, banku, fufu, and more. Experience cooking demonstrations and taste the rich flavors of Ghana.

FOOD & DRINKS
For a day you can almost forget you are in Switzerland. Nothing quite like the smell of Chichinga (kebabs), Choofi, Kenkey, Waakye, Tilapia, Banku and Okro, Kelewele and all the things the street of Ghana takes for granted. For the brave at heart the cultural food tent will have pounded fufu with a choice of light soup and amponchi kraka.
