Accra is set to host the maiden edition of the By Faith Guinea Fowl Bazaar, a two-day event aimed at promoting agriculture, tourism, and Northern Ghanaian cuisine.
The event, scheduled for May 1–2, will take place at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park and is being organised by the By Faith Catering Services in collaboration with the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA).
Organisers say the bazaar, which has been held annually in Tamale since 2019 as part of Farmers’ Day celebrations, has grown into a nationally recognised platform supporting smallholder farmers and promoting guinea fowl production and consumption.
This year’s edition, themed “Experience the North in the South,” marks the first time the event is being hosted in the national capital, bringing the culinary and cultural heritage of Northern Ghana to a wider audience.
Activities lined up for the event include the sale and display of grilled, fried, smoked, and fresh guinea fowls, alongside other local dishes from Northern Ghana. There will also be cultural performances, traditional music, product exhibitions, and media engagements.
According to the organisers, the bazaar seeks to encourage youth participation in poultry farming, provide direct market access for farmers, and promote domestic tourism.
The event is expected to attract high-profile guests, including the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, who is the Guest of Honour; chiefs and traditional authorities, a former Vice President, representatives of key institutions, development partners and members of the public.
By Faith Catering Services, organisers of the event, won the Food, Beverage and Entertainment (Individual) category at the 2025 National Tourism Awards.
They described the bazaar as a not-for-profit initiative focused on community empowerment, agricultural development, and cultural promotion.
The organisers have extended invitations to various groups and institutions, expressing confidence that strong participation will enhance the growth of Ghana’s poultry value chain and strengthen national cultural appreciation.

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has passed on Saturday August 12, 2026.
She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Offei was married to Prof. Samuel Kwame Offei, a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the couple had two children.
Her death comes days after she was reported missing but was later found safe.
Mrs Offei leaves behind a rich music legacy that continues to inspire faith, hope and resilience among generations of listeners. -GNA
