Ghanaian culture is set to dazzle Melbourne, Australia, as Gilgal Community Care Incorporated gears up to host the highly anticipated Ghana Day in Australia on Saturday, May 31, 2025. The celebration will unfold at the Saltwater Coast Lifestyle Centre, offering a vibrant tribute to Ghanaian music, dance, and tradition in the heart of the diaspora.
Originally slated for an earlier date, the event was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. However, organisers affirm that the rescheduled occasion returns with renewed energy and a powerful mission — to honour the essence of Ghanaian culture and foster unity within the African diaspora through art, rhythm, and community spirit.
More than just a cultural festival, Ghana Day stands as a bold expression of identity and purpose. It is presented by Gilgal Community Care, a registered NGO committed to fighting poverty, hunger, and illiteracy among children, youth, and vulnerable women in Ghana and beyond.
“This event is about community, about reconnecting with our roots, and about passing down the rhythm of our heritage to future generations,” said a representative from Gilgal Community Care.
This year’s celebration will spotlight an electrifying lineup, headlined by the iconic FBS, whose infectious Afrobeat energy is set to ignite the stage. Joining them is the Mokosane Cultural Troupe from Jamestown, Accra — revered for their traditional drumming, dance, and rich storytelling that capture the heartbeat of Ghanaian culture.
But Ghana Day is more than performances — it’s an immersive cultural experience. Guests will enjoy a full day of traditional and modern Ghanaian music, mouth-watering cuisine, fashion showcases, hands-on drumming and dance workshops for all ages, and a vibrant market of vendors.
A family-friendly event, Ghana Day is expected to attract Ghanaian-Australians, multicultural groups, students, creatives, and cultural enthusiasts — all united by a shared appreciation for Ghana’s enduring legacy.
In celebrating Ghana Day, Gilgal Community Care continues to promote not only cultural pride but also its wider mission of empowerment and connection. As organisers beautifully put it, “Distance can never diminish heritage.”
