Ghana Tourism Authority calls for Event Proposals for December in GH 2025

The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) under the coordination of the International Affairs Secretariat, has announced the opening of the call for event proposals for the 2025 edition of December in GH, a premier tourism initiative that showcases Ghana’s rich culture, heritage, entertainment, and hospitality.

The event, which takes place from December 1, 2025, to January 3, 2026, promises to be a spectacular celebration of Ghana’s vibrant spirit.

Aligned with the spirit of the Black Star Experience, Ghana’s premier tourism initiative, December in GH continues to position Ghana as the ultimate destination for culture, heritage, entertainment and reconnection. 

Taking place during the festive holiday season, December in GH spans a full month of curated events across music, fashion, art, culture and nightlife, drawing thousands of visitors from around the world. Each year, the season welcomes a vibrant mix of the Ghanaian diaspora returning home, as well as the diaspora reconnecting with their African roots.

Maame Efua Houadjeto, CEO of Ghana Tourism Authority, said, “December in GH is more than a festive celebration, it is a movement that showcases Ghana’s vibrant spirit to the world. 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.

“GTA invites event organisers, promoters and cultural curators to submit proposals for events scheduled between December 1, 2025 to January 3, 2026 that will contribute to a vibrant and diverse calendar of activities across the country”.

Interested parties are expected to submit their detailed event proposals not later than Monday, June 16, 2025.

Director of the International Affairs Secretariat, Annabelle McKenzie, noted that the call for proposals is part of the planning process.

 “We’re excited to work with event organisers who bring fresh ideas and energy to December in GH. It’s a time when the global diaspora comes home to experience Ghana, its culture, warmth, entertainment, food and welcoming spirit.

“This year will have an even greater impact as we invite the world to be part of the Black Star Experience during one of the most vibrant times of the year,” she said. 

All proposals must be submitted by Monday 16th June, 2025, through the official submission form: https://forms.office.com/r/xMVFeS20Fd
