Culture, music, food and sports
The flyer promises four pillars: Ghana’s culture, music, food and sports. It does not list the detailed program (artists, activities); the organizers share more on their website and social accounts (Instagram @ghanafest_dmv, TikTok @ghanafestdmv, Facebook “Ghana Festival DMV”).
Why it matters for the DMV
Ghana is among the top five countries of origin of the African-born population in Prince George’s County, where the festival takes place: 5,139 Ghanaian-born residents in 2024, according to a county report (read our article). A gathering like this lets the diaspora reconnect, pass its culture on to younger generations and share its traditions with neighbors.
On the same day, another community event takes place in Takoma Park: the 5th anniversary of The Exquisite Black & White. Find all our stories about Ghana on the Ghana page.
Good to know before you go
