Our Culture
Ghana Parade Day has since been held in every first saturday in August and has grown beyond a parade into a festival bringing together New Yorkers, visitors to the city, and Ghanaians from across the New York metropolitan area and further afield to revel in the sounds, sights, and delicacies that are hallmarks of the Ghanaian culture.
Ghana Parade Day has evolved into a vibrant cultural festival celebrated annually in August, transforming New York City into a sea of red, gold, green, and black star. The event brings together people of all backgrounds to experience the beauty, creativity, and warmth of Ghanaian culture. More than just a parade, this festival is a grand celebration of unity, diversity, and national pride, bringing together New Yorkers, visitors, and the Ghanaian diaspora in one unforgettable experience.
