The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) is gearing up to launch an exciting project called ‘Feast Ghana’. This initiative aims to showcase and promote local foods across the country, highlighting the culinary diversity of Ghana.
The official launch of Feast Ghana is scheduled for Wednesday, April 17, at the Accra Tourist Information Centre (ATIC). The event is being organized in partnership with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the Asanteman Queenmothers Association, and the Public Service Workers Union of the Trades Union Congress (PSWU of TUC).
The first edition of Feast Ghana will celebrate Ghana’s rich culinary heritage under the theme ‘Flavours Of Ghana, Celebrating Ghana’s Cultural Diversity Through Food’. Following the launch, the project will travel to the Ashanti Region on April 22, in collaboration with the Asanteman Queenmothers Association to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene.
On May Day, a grand celebration of Feast Ghana will take place at the Accra International Conference Centre in partnership with the PSWU of TUC. This final event promises to be a memorable showcase of Ghana’s local foods, emphasizing unity, diversity, and the vibrant spirit of the people.
Attendees can look forward to experiencing traditional dishes, culinary delights, and a celebration of Ghana’s heritage throughout the journey of Feast Ghana. The CEO of GTA, Akwasi Agyeman, highlighted that Feast Ghana is an opportunity to showcase the vibrant culinary richness of Ghana and celebrate the unity and diversity that food embodies in the culture.
“This programme aligns with the ‘See Ghana, Eat Ghana, Wear Ghana, and Feel Ghana’ campaign launched by GTA a few years ago,” added Agyeman. Feast Ghana aims to not only promote local foods but also unite people through a shared appreciation for the country’s culinary traditions. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting initiative.
