The GOGE Africa Festival, themed “Symphony of Cultures,” attracted over 20,000 attendees from 32 countries, celebrating African heritage through exhibitions, parades, music, dance, and culinary competitions. This year’s highlight, “Our Shared Heritage,” showcased the shared history and cultural unity among African nations.

This ambitious program focuses on seven strategic pillars to unlock Ghana’s full tourism potential, foster lasting bonds, and establish groundbreaking economic and cultural partnerships.

Ghana Week DC 2024 concluded on a high note as the Ghana Week DC Select Side triumphed over DC United 2-1 in an exhilarating football (soccer) match at Audi Field in Washington, DC. The victory was not only a sporting highlight but also a symbol of the growing cultural and economic ties between Ghana and the United States, with a special emphasis on connections through the diaspora.

The match marked the second edition of the Capital City Africa Cup and served as the perfect finale to a week-long celebration of Ghana’s rich culture, tourism, and investment opportunities.

The Ghana Select Side, was composed of an impressive mix of talent, featuring seven players from Asante Kotoko’s first team and two players from Attram De Visser FC, as well as other top Ghanaian players based in the United States. Despite the initial setbacks, including challenges with visa acquisition that led to Asante Kotoko’s withdrawal from the scheduled match, the Ghanaian team delivered a stellar performance. Team Ghana came from behind to claim a hard-fought 2-1 win.

DC United’s U-18 team took an early lead in the first half, however, Ghana’s determination and skill quickly came into play, with Kotoko’s Elvis Kyei Baffour netting the equalizer just before halftime. The second half saw Geoffrey Owusu score the winning goal, securing Ghana’s place as champions of the Capital City Charity Cup.

The match was a highly anticipated event, headlining the Ghana Week DC events, which included the opening reception at the Smithsonian Museum of African Art, Hospitality Travel & Tourism B2B Forum at the Embassy of Ghana DC, African Restaurant Week, and the Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo. All activities aimed to promote Ghana’s tourism, culture, investment potential and sports within the DMV area (Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia). It brought together members of the African diaspora, Americans, and Ghanaians, further strengthening the bridge between Ghana and the United States. This victory not only highlighted Ghana’s growing influence in sports but also reinforced the strong bonds that can be forged through sporting events like the Capital City Africa Cup.

As part of the Ghana Week DC activities, the Hospitality Travel & Tour B2B Forum took place at the Embassy of Ghana in Washington, D.C., on October 8, 2024, bringing together key players in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. The event served as a platform for stakeholders from Ghana and the U.S. diaspora to explore business opportunities, exchange ideas, and form strategic partnerships aimed at boosting tourism between the two countries.

The forum featured an impressive lineup of dignitaries and industry leaders who emphasized the importance of building stronger ties between Ghana and the U.S. diaspora through tourism. Among those in attendance were, H.E. Hajia Alima Mahama, Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States of America. Hon. Carlos Ahenkorah, Ghana Member of Parliament, John Agbeko, Ghana Tourism Authority Board Member, Akwasi Agyeman, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Kwadwo Antwi, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Development Company, Annabelle McKenzie, Director of the Beyond the Return Secretariat, Paxton Baker, CEO of LIQUID SOUL-DC, Alisa Asamoah, President of the Tour Operators Union of Ghana (TOUGHA), Members of the Tour Operators Union of Ghana, Representatives from Lifestyle Property Expo, and Representatives from PKB Enterprises

The event featured a keynote address from Ghana’s Ambassador, H.E. Hajia Alima Mahama, and other key officials who highlighted Ghana’s commitment to expanding its tourism industry. With Ghana continuing to attract attention through initiatives like Beyond the Return, the forum was a strategic opportunity for industry stakeholders to develop partnerships that would enhance the tourism experience for visitors from the U.S., especially those of African descent.

One of the forum’s key messages was the potential for Ghana to become a top destination for cultural and heritage tourism. Attendees at the B2B Forum had the chance to network with travel and tour operators, hoteliers, investors, and tourism experts. 

The Hospitality Travel & Tour B2B Forum reinforced Ghana’s standing as a prime travel destination, particularly for African Americans and the broader diaspora seeking to reconnect with their heritage. The forum also served as an opportunity to promote Ghana’s vast potential in eco-tourism and its rich historical sites.

As tourism remains a key driver of Ghana’s economy, the partnerships formed during the forum will undoubtedly contribute to the nation’s ongoing efforts to position itself as a leading destination for travel, culture, and business.

The official opening of Ghana Week DC (GWDC) took place at the Smithsonian Museum of African Art on 7th October, 2024 and marked a significant step in strengthening the relationship between Ghana and the United States, particularly with the African diaspora. Organized by the Ghana Tourism Authority and the Beyond the Return Secretariat, in partnership with LIQUID SOULD Events DC and the Ghana Embassy DC, this weeklong celebration showcases Ghana’s rich culture and offers opportunities for economic and cultural collaboration.

Ghana’s Ambassador to the U.S., Hajia Alima Mahama, emphasized the importance of this initiative during the opening ceremony, highlighting that the event goes beyond just a one-week celebration. “The whole initiative was to link up, promote tourism, build bridges, and have more opportunities to interact with African American communities,” Mahama explained. She added that President Nana Akufo-Addo is committed to ensuring that the mission extends beyond this week to build long-term connections. “This week will prepare us to continue with the interaction and the relationship so that [African Americans] can see Ghana as home.”

Launching Ghana Week in the U.S. capital, Washington, D.C., has been strategic, given it’s home to a diverse international community and has a high concentration of African Americans with a strong interest in international relations and business. The week coincides with African Restaurant Week, where local restaurants will showcase African and Caribbean cuisine, giving attendees a taste of the rich culinary heritage from across the continent.

One of the major highlights of Ghana Week DC is the “Capital City Africa Cup,” a highly anticipated football (soccer) match between 24-time Ghanaian league champions Asante Kotoko and D.C. United at Audi Field on October 12. This is more than just a game; it’s a cultural exchange. As Mark Addo, vice president of the Ghana Football Association, said, “This is not just a friendly competition but a cultural exchange through sports, and we are building together, not only the football but the nations of Ghana and the United States, and also we are bridging the gap.”

Paxton Baker, chairman of the Washington Nationals Founding Partners Group, managing partner of LIQUID SOUL Events DC and a key partner in the development of Ghana Week DC, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative. “Africa has been clearly inside of my DNA for my whole life,” Baker said. He believes that the event, especially the Capital City Africa Cup, is an opportunity to bring African culture to Washington, D.C., in a meaningful way. His vision is to strengthen the economic power of the Black community through cultural connections and investment. Baker pointed out that traveling and investing in Ghana is not only accessible but also rewarding. “When you start to make investments there, you become much more interested in the continent, you become more interested in what’s going on there,” he explained.

Ghana Week DC aligns with Ghana’s Beyond the Return initiative, which was launched in 2020 as the follow up to the successful Year of Return Ghana 2019.  GWDC aims to inspire more people in the African diaspora to visit,repatriate, and invest in Ghana, deepening their ties to the continent. The initiative has the theme, ‘A Decade of African Renaissance’ with seven foundational pillars designed to build connections with the diaspora and highlight Ghana’s strengths.

Ghana Week DC, running from October 7-12, serves as a vibrant celebration of Ghana’s culture and an invitation for African Americans and the broader diaspora to strengthen their ties to Ghana, explore opportunities for investment, and engage in a cultural exchange that builds bridges between nations.

Ghanaian artist Stonebwoy, participated in a panel discussion at Howard University’s Warner Music Blavatnik Center for Music Business on September 26, 2024. The multi-award-winning musician shared his journey in the music industry, shedding light on how he navigates global success while staying grounded in his Afro-dancehall and reggae roots.

During the panel discussion, Stonebwoy made a statement that resonated with many in attendance. “The talent we possess doesn’t belong to us, it comes through us, but it belongs to humanity,” he said. His words set the tone for a dialogue centered around duality, culture, social justice, and the importance of staying well-rounded in an ever-evolving industry.

Stonebwoy’s commitment to his heritage and storytelling is at the core of his artistic expression. His lyrics, often drawing from personal experiences, serve as reflections of societal issues, making his music both relatable and thought-provoking. “We have to pay attention to our own issues and make sure that we’re progressing and excelling,” he emphasized.

This engagement at Howard University aligns seamlessly with the ‘Beyond the Return’ initiative, for how it connects the diaspora to Ghana. Stonebwoy’s appearance highlighted the strong connection between Ghana and the diaspora, using music and the arts as a bridge. As a prominent Ghanaian artist, his influence extends far beyond the borders of his home country. His presence at one of the most respected Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) not only fosters dialogue about African music but also strengthens the connection between Ghana and the African diaspora in the United States.

Stonebwoy’s impact in the diaspora echoes Ghana’s broader initiative to tell its story through the arts, in alignment with the Brand Ghana pillar of Beyond the Return. His commitment to authentic representation of his culture on the global stage contributes to the ongoing effort to position Ghana as a cultural and creative hub. Through his music, Stonebwoy is an ambassador for the country’s rich artistic heritage, showcasing how Ghana can lead global conversations through its unique contributions to the arts.

During the panel, Stonebwoy also spoke about the art of duality—balancing his role as a global superstar and as a graduate student at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, where he studies international relations and diplomacy. His journey exemplifies the versatility and resilience that is often required of artists navigating the international music scene. As he continues to grow professionally, his studies reflect his desire to remain grounded and well-rounded, constantly seeking new ways to serve as a role model for others.

The session concluded with an engaging Q&A, where Howard students eagerly sought advice from Stonebwoy on breaking into the music industry. For many, the opportunity to engage with such a globally recognized figure was inspiring. Ghanaian student Jesse Panyin Awuah reflected, “It was a nice experience having Howard bring in a Ghanaian artist to speak to the students because we barely see African music artist representation in school.” Stonebwoy’s appearance highlighted the power of cultural authenticity in the music industry. By remaining true to his roots, he has not only inspired students but also shown that Ghana’s story can be told through its artists, who carry the nation’s heritage to the global stage.

One of the highlights of this year’s event is the inclusion of Ghana in Time Out magazine’s Top 40 Neighborhoods Worldwide, with Accra’s Cantonments being a standout area. As Ghana solidifies its position as the gateway to Africa, property demand from the diaspora and international investors continues to surge.

Co-organiser of the event, Victoria Agyekum added, “Since our inaugural Expo in 2017, we’ve seen incredible growth in demand for property investment in Ghana, especially from the diaspora. We’re excited to host this year’s Expo series in Washington DC, London, and Accra to continue addressing the needs of potential buyers and investors.”

The Washington DC event will be part of Ghana Week DC, a week-long event organised in partnership with the Ghana Embassy in Washington DC, Ghana Tourism Authority, and Beyond the Return.
