Dubbed “The Convention,” the inaugural edition is scheduled for December 20, 2026, at the Underbridge Annex in East Legon, Accra. The event is expected to combine live music, entertainment and cultural experiences centred on Highlife.
Organisers say the initiative is designed to become a regular fixture on Ghana’s entertainment calendar, with the first edition laying the foundation for an annual celebration of the genre.
The Convention will provide an opportunity for Highlife enthusiasts from Ghana and beyond to come together and experience the music while celebrating an important part of the country’s cultural identity.
