Chow Ghana is Ghana's first local food festival that seeks to showcase the culture of Ghana mainly through traditional food, performances and display of art, culture and dance.

The event is slated for the 10th and 11th June 2017 that's on a Saturday and Sunday and will be held at Venue Gh, located behind Tullow Oil at Dzorwulu.

Chow Ghana is envisioned to be a household event held annually to attract both locals and expatriates from all walks of life to come and have a feel of the First Ghanaian food festival.

Ghanaians love to defend their food to the death! Not to talk of Ghanaian Jollof and the endless rant around their favourite waakye spots, so we thought, why not bring theses favourite traditional meals together, foster creativity and birth happiness through food.

Another reason for creating this event was to

1. create excitement and around traditional food Ghanaians have grown up loving,

2. encourage art and talent

3. promoting the Ghanaian culture

4. Bringing Ghana’s favourite local meals together

5. Foster relationships, partnerships and creativity through food

6. Create and encourage a bond with Ghana’s food brands, making them the people’s first choice

7. promoting made in Ghana products, promoting local and international tourism in Ghana.
