Accra’s festive atmosphere in December is set to be even more vibrant in 2025, and the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) is seeking innovative event proposals to make it happen. Aligned with the Black Star Experience, the GTA’s “December in GH” initiative aims to showcase Ghana’s rich culture, heritage, and entertainment to a global audience. This call for proposals is a chance for event organizers, promoters, and cultural curators to contribute to a memorable celebration, solidifying Ghana as a premier destination during the holiday season. The focus is on high-quality events that highlight Ghana’s creativity, hospitality, and global appeal, attracting both the Ghanaian diaspora and visitors from around the world. The GTA is specifically looking for event proposals that will make the 2025 edition of December in GH the best yet.

December in GH is Ghana’s premier tourism initiative, transforming the nation into a hub of cultural activity throughout the month. The initiative encompasses a curated series of events, with a strong emphasis on music, fashion, art, culture, and nightlife. It’s designed to welcome both the Ghanaian diaspora returning home and those from the historical diaspora reconnecting with their African roots.

The GTA encourages event organizers, promoters, and cultural curators to submit their proposals for events scheduled between December 1st, 2025, and January 3rd, 2026. These events should contribute to a diverse and engaging calendar of activities across Ghana.

All detailed event proposals must be submitted by Monday, June 16th, 2025. A selection committee will review all submissions, ensuring the highest quality of events that reflect Ghana’s creativity, hospitality, and global appeal. Selected events will be featured on the official December in GH 2025 calendar, set to launch later this year.

“December in GH is more than a festive celebration, it is a movement that showcases Ghana’s vibrant spirit to the world,” said GTA CEO Maame Efua Houadjeto (Mrs.). “As we embrace the Black Star Experience, we are setting the stage for our biggest December season yet, and we look forward to innovative events that will elevate Ghana’s place as a leading destination for culture, entertainment, and heritage tourism.”

This call for proposals marks a pivotal moment in planning for the next December in GH. It’s an invitation for event organizers to infuse fresh ideas and energy into the celebration, allowing the global diaspora to fully experience Ghana’s culture, warmth, entertainment, food, and welcoming spirit. This year aims for an even greater impact by inviting the world to participate in the Black Star Experience during this vibrant time, according to Annabelle McKenzie, Director of the International Affairs Secretariat.

The Black Star Experience, Ghana’s premier tourism initiative, aims to position the nation as the ultimate destination for culture, heritage, entertainment, and reconnection. With December in GH aligned with this spirit, the initiative plays a major role in boosting tourism, strengthening cultural industries, and reinforcing Ghana’s reputation as the gateway to Africa.

To submit an event proposal for December in GH 2025, all proposals must be submitted by Monday, June 16th, 2025, through the official submission form. Ensure all details are accurately filled and review the submission to ensure it meets all the criteria.

The GTA’s call for event proposals represents a significant opportunity to contribute to Ghana’s vibrant cultural landscape and boost its tourism sector. By aligning with the Black Star Experience and focusing on innovative, high-quality events, organizers can help make this year’s edition historic. Ensure your proposals are submitted by the June 16th, 2025 deadline to be part of this transformative journey and showcase Ghana’s unique appeal to the world.
