Ghana's Largest Local Food Festival Slated For June 10 And 11

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.
