The cultural creative strings are being pulled by blockbuster rapper Sarkodie on
Saturday the 24th of July in an event supported by the Ghana High Commission UK and Ireland.

As well as food and Art Exhibits there is a large music presence with previous performers including Mr Eazi, Fuse ODG, Maleek Berry, Chip, Kojo Funds, WRETCH 32, Tion Wayne and Sarkodie alongside Yaw Tog, Kofi Jamar, Amerado, and D-Black; highlife crooner Kwabena Kwabena, Afropop artists S3fa, Camidoh, Gyakie, and Mr. Drew.
