Nkabom Literary Festival

Each August, Accra hosts the Nkabom Literary Festival, which draws local and international poets and novelists. This is a time to reflect on the impact of literature on the world as a whole. The festival witnesses the greatest migration of local artists from in and around Ghana coming together to showcase their art and share an idea or just get a new perspective about things.

During this festival, there are illustrators, painters, and theater performers who participate in lectures, readings, and exhibits. Musicians and DJs add their talent by taking the stage during this community-conscious event to promote the positive effects and essential skills of reading. The festival transforms into a platform where several contents from multiple sources pour in to create a literary festival. That magnifies the reach of local literature to the international mass.
