The UK Guardian in a recent article stated “The world is now coming to Africa!” when looking on the global popularity of Africa’s most exciting cultural export: Afrobeats. Besides the music, demand for African food is also bursting worldwide, and for those looking for an authentic African experience, there is nowhere like London’s Ghana Party in the Park Festival to dish this out! Move your body to afrobeats, feast on traditional cuisines and admire spectacular Ghanaian costumes, for no more than the affordable £20!
This year the annual outdoor event at Enfield’s Trent Park, will be attended by close to 10,000 people, making it the world’s biggest Ghanian event outside of Ghana; guests are expected from Europe, USA, Canada and of course, the host, Ghana.
Afrobeats has become one of the most beloved music genres across the globe, with artists such as US superstar Drake and British grime artist Dave featuring on chart-topping afrobeat anthems. Whilst organisers are remaining tight-lipped about this year’s music line-up until the official announcement in June, the event guarantees big names and fresh sounds, with the likes of Mr Eazi, Tion Wayne and Chip having graced the Ghana Party in the Park stage in recent years.
And of course, no Ghanaian festival would be complete without food. Lots of it! From jollof and suya to bofro and sobolo, Ghana Party in the Park promises the very best in West African cuisine, on top of which, the UK’s leading World Food brand Tropical Sun will be sampling their delicious snacks and drinks at their stand. Our personal recommendation: Tropical Sun’s world-famous Coconut Peanuts, which are quickly becoming one of the most popular snacks in West Africa!
Tickets for this event on Saturday 16th July are priced from £20 and are available from the usual outlets including Shoobs and Eventbrite.
