About Festival of Lights Ghana
The Festival of Lights Ghana is a celebration that brings people together to honor light, love, and connection. The event features light displays and festive activities, creating a joyful atmosphere where attendees can experience the spirit of Christmas. It’s about bringing people together to share in the holiday spirit and fostering a strong sense of community.
Visitors will experience an event deeply rooted in Ghanaian culture and family traditions, setting it apart from other light festivals. The festival draws from the founders’ own family gatherings and their joy from a trip to London’s Winter Wonderland. They want to bring that same sense of excitement and joy to Ghana, while celebrating the country’s unique heritage.
Held in December, when many Ghanaians return from abroad and locals are on holiday, the Festival of Lights Ghana aims to provide a space for people to reconnect, celebrate, and create new memories.
