Revellers in the United Kingdom will have a memorable time at this year’s Ghana Party in the Park on Saturday July 15 at Trent Park in London.
Ahead of the event, organisers of the programme, Akwaaba UK, have announced the participation one of Ghana’s revered music duos, R2Bees, Samini, Medikal and VIP.
The excitement would be taken to the next level by Mr.Drew, Article Wan, Kofi Mole, Quamina MP, Cina Soul, Larruso, and Lasmid.
The organisers told The Spectator that the event would provide an opportunity for Ghanaian arts and culture to be exhibited in a unique way.
This would be done through the exhibition of food, paraphernalia, music and dance among others on the day.
According to them, there would be two days for Ghana Business Expo, where businesses will showcase their product to participants with the aim of promoting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
“It also presents itself with business communities bridging the gap between business in Ghana and the UK,” organisers said.
The event is arguably the biggest African outdoor festival held in the UK for the diaspora community.
Hosted by Akwaaba Group and D-Vision Management since 2005, the festival attracts visitors from Europe, USA, Canada, the Caribbean and Africa.
Live music, spectacular costume display, durbar of chiefs , cultural dancers, fashion show, fun fair, football, kid’s activities, arts and crafts stalls and the traditional freshly cooked Ghanaian and African food are some of the side attractions on the day

GHANAIAN rapper Sarkodie will take his flagship Rapperholic concert to the United Kingdom for the first time, marking a major milestone for the annual event that has become a staple of Ghana’s music calendar.
The show, scheduled for the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday, March 6, 2026, would be produced in partnership with Bizzle Entertainment and Kilimanjaro Live.
Sarkodie, one of Africa’s most decorated hip-hop artistes, said the move represents a cultural shift and feels timely.
“This is more than just a concert; it’s about expanding the culture beyond borders,” he said in a social media post, adding that after 13 years of hosting Rapperholic in Ghana, taking it to the UK is a natural progression.
Bizzle Entertainment, which previously staged Fameye’s “2 in a Guy” concert and Highlife legend Amakye Dede’s 50th anniversary show in London, would co-produce the event.
Rapperholic, launched in 2013, has grown into one of Ghana’s biggest music brands, drawing thousands of fans each year.
The London edition is expected to attract a diverse audience and further cement Sarkodie’s influence on the global Afrobeats and rap music scenes. –GNA
