W.E.B. Du Bois Centre to host 5th Culturefest GH Dec 24-26 

The fifth edition of Culturefest GH has been scheduled for December 24-26, at the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre in Cantonments, Accra

The three-day festival is expected to create business opportunities for more than 50 vendors, creatives, food businesses and fashion entrepreneurs while promoting Ghanaian culture to international audiences.

It will attract more than 2,000 physical attendees, with a projected digital reach of over 500,000 through Goodies Radio and Television and partner media platforms.

Organised by Goodies Media Worldwide, a privately owned media, broadcasting and event production company, the festival will be on the theme, “Canvas & Rhythm,” which celebrates the intersection of visual art and sound.

According to the organisers, the event seeks to position culture as an avenue for economic growth, tourism promotion and international collaboration, while providing a platform for local entrepreneurs to showcase their products, reach new customers and establish business connections.

“The 2026 edition comes at a time when Ghana is preparing to host the African Festival of Arts, Culture and Creatives (AFESTACC) in December, ahead of the country’s 70th Independence Anniversary in March 2027,” a member of the organising team told The Spectator.

The organisers expect the festival to attract selected international artists, disc jockeys (DJs) and cultural delegations from embassies, as well as more than 500 visitors from the diaspora, to promote cultural exchange and strengthen Ghana’s international cultural relations.

The programme will feature three performance platforms: the Sterling Jazz Main Stage, the CultureFusion Stage and the Heritage Acoustic Stage, offering opportunities for musical performances and cultural expression.

Other attractions will include the Ghana Food Village, the Kente and Afro-Luxury Pavilion, creative industry master classes, business-to-business networking sessions and a sponsor village.

The festival will also be broadcast live on Goodies Radio and Television and partner media platforms to extend its reach beyond the venue and engage audiences across different locations.

As part of its long-term objectives, the organisers plan to launch the Culturefest GH Talent Fund and a Culture Documentation Project to support emerging talents and preserve Ghana’s cultural heritage.

The initiatives are intended to provide a lasting platform for talent development and cultural preservation while strengthening the contribution of the creative arts to the economy.
