The African Festival once again lived up to its promise of celebrating Africa in its full richness, as the Accra International Conference Centre came alive with colour, culture, and creativity. From the moment patrons arrived, it was clear this was more than just an event ,it was an experience.
The Conference Centre was full to the brim, both upstairs and downstairs, as theatre lovers, culture enthusiasts, families, and creatives gathered in large numbers. The energy was palpable, and the satisfaction evident across the board from the actors who delivered compelling performances, to the organizers who curated a seamless production, and the patrons who responded with applause, admiration, and pride.
The highlight of the second day was the stage production The Second Coming of Nkrumah, a beautifully executed play that resonated deeply with audiences. Through powerful storytelling, music, and performance, the play served as a reminder of African emancipation, leadership, and identity. It was both moving and inspiring, earning glowing reactions from theatre goers.

Beyond the main theatre, the festival atmosphere continued to build. Outside, patrons were treated to a vibrant showcase of African life sites to see, food to eat, and moments to capture. From culinary delights across the continent to cultural displays and photo spots that told Africa’s story, it truly felt like exploring all of Africa in one place.
The second day of the African Festival was massively patronized, reaffirming the growing interest in African theatre and cultural expression. With excitement already building, Day Three promises to be even bigger and better, as the festival continues to unite people through art, history, and shared heritage.
The African Festival remains a beautiful testament to Africa’s creativity, resilience, and storytelling power and this year’s edition is one to remember.
