Ohio Ghana Festival

The Ohio Ghana Festival bridges continents through music, food, and community pride, creating a joyful homecoming in Columbus.

Experience the Moment

  • Watch elders and youth interacting—how traditions are passed down (dance steps, dress, music).

  • Imagine a Ghanaian family you’ve never met, preparing these foods, dressing up, gathering in community.

  • Then compare to your own family traditions.

Southeast Columbus / Kimberly Parkway area
