The Association of Ghanaian Unions Switzerland in partnership with the Ghana Embassy Switzerland is ready with the third edition of the Ghana Day Festival after a two-year break due to COVID-19.
Scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 2 at Waldutte Ziegelhonein Switzerland, the Ghana Day Festival showcases Ghanaian food, culture, and music to the outside world.
There will be live band performances from Shab Crew, Habyba, and Jenny Grace. Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Philip Wangyimba a member of the organizers said the event has grown to become one of the best events in Switzerland with great attendance.
“The last two editions have been great where we had Ghanaians and none Ghanaian coming in their numbers to enjoy the festival. On the day we intend to bring some traditional dancers, musicians, and a live band to come and entertain us while we introduce our food, our beautiful Kente, and promote anything Ghanaian”
“This is the little way we can promote our music, culture, and everything Ghanaian to the outside world and we intend to do this festival in other countries,” he said.

We will make this year’s festival more fan with a lot of activities to make the event memorable” he said.
