The 2026 edition of Media General’s Ghana Month was officially launched on Monday, March 2, at the Ghana Village, with a vibrant showcase of traditions from across the country’s diverse ethnic groups.
From dazzling African wear to artistry, intricate Kente weaving, poetry recitals, and more, Ghana’s cultural beauty took center stage.
Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Dzifa Gomashie, applauded Media General for its consistency in championing Ghana Month.
She encouraged Ghanaians to support the initiative, highlighting the importance of celebrating Ghana’s identity:
“Your station has done so well. Everywhere in this country and across the globe, you are watched. And for you to dedicate the month to celebrate who we are is commendable. TV3, here’s your flowers and your clap. Keep doing what you’re doing.”
Renowned actor Adjetey Anang emphasized the need for togetherness in projecting the Ghana Agenda, while Henry Herbert Malm, Executive Director of the National Theater, urged Ghanaians to be deliberate in passing traditions to future generations.
“Everything we do here is about this country. It’s about our culture. It’s the very core of it. It gives people the inkling that there is much more about us than what we see on the ordinary.”
3Group General Manager, Akorfa Banson, assured audiences of more exciting Ghanaian content across Media General platforms:
“On TV3 you will see a lot of Ghanaian content, local movies, music, food, and fashion. We’re going to use our platforms to project Ghana, our culture, and our traditions.”
Guinness World Record holder for the largest leaf print painting, Sharon Dede Padi, praised the initiative for bringing tourism closer to the people:
“As a heritage painter, I always believe in our past and imagine it with our future, so that future generations will know what we had, what we have, and what to project.”
Throughout the month-long celebration, audiences can look forward to cultural discoveries, breathtaking sights, and unforgettable experiences. Activities will spotlight authentic Ghanaian heritage, from locally made food and beverages to iconic fabrics and traditional attire.
