Rhythms On Da Runway, the continent’s leading annual fashion and music spectacle, has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing the title of the Most Prestigious Event at the prestigious Africa Events Awards.
This accolade underscores the event’s unwavering dedication to innovation and its commitment to delivering exceptional experiences year after year.
In the face of tough competition from outstanding events across Africa, Rhythms On Da Runway emerged victorious, cementing its position as a trailblazer in the event planning and management sector.
The Africa Events Awards ceremony is a platform that celebrates outstanding achievements and contributions within the event industry, recognizing the ingenuity, creativity, and passion of individuals and teams who craft unforgettable experiences.
Kofi Okyere-Darko (K O D), the Creative President of NINETEEN57, expressed his excitement about this prestigious award.
He said, “We are thrilled to receive this recognition, which will inspire us to achieve even greater things in the coming years. Rhythms On Da Runway has always been about pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible in the world of fashion and music events.”
This award holds immense significance for Rhythms On Da Runway, as it reaffirms the event’s status as a trailblazer in the industry.
Over the years, Rhythms On Da Runway has captivated audiences with its enchanting fusion of traditional African rhythms, contemporary beats, and captivating runway displays by renowned African designers. It has become a platform that not only celebrates Africa’s diverse cultural identity but also promotes unity and inclusivity among the continent’s people.
Looking ahead, Rhythms On Da Runway is poised to continue pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation in the world of fashion and music events.
The event aspires to be a driving force behind sustainable practices in the industry while preserving Africa’s rich cultural heritage. Rhythms On Da Runway aims to create a lasting legacy that inspires generations to come.
The organizers of Rhythms On Da Runway extended their heartfelt gratitude to the Africa Events Awards for this prestigious recognition.
They also acknowledged the unwavering support of their dedicated team, partners, sponsors, and the ever-enthusiastic audience that has made this journey possible.
According the organisers, as Rhythms On Da Runway basks in the glory of this achievement, the team remains committed to delivering even more spectacular experiences in the years ahead.
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
