The National Commission on Culture has officially launched the 2024 National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFAC) in Accra to celebrate Ghanaian cultural heritage.
The event, chaired by Nana Baffoe IV, the Paramount Chief of the Nkoranza Traditional Area, welcomed distinguished guests, from the Centre for National Culture nationwide.
According to him, this year’s festival, themed “Beyond NAFAC @60: Harnessing Culture, the Pivot for Ghana’s Democracy and Sustainable Development,” will take place in Techiman, the Bono East Regional capital, from October 25 to 31.
He emphasized the importance of fostering unity and peace ahead of the December general elections, asserting that NAFAC 2024 will be crucial in achieving these goals.
