Although some celebrations such as the school parade was altered due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the national event still left many in awe when the President presided over the military parade.

Ghana's independence day celebration has resulted in the "flag challenge", where many users on Twitter speak of how proud they are to be associated with the red, gold, green and black star flag designed by Theodosia Okoh.
