Second Homowo Festival and Business Summit

The Second Homowo Festival and Business Summit is set to occur in Newark, New Jersey, United States, running from October 16 to 18, 2026. This three-day event is organized by the Gbese Traditional Council and festival organizers with the purpose of highlighting Ga culture, heritage, and traditional practices on an international platform.

A central feature of the summit is the Oobakɛ Experience, for which Naomi Borley Alabi has been appointed Curator. Her role involves providing creative and curatorial direction for the program. The Oobakɛ Experience focuses on presenting Ga culture in a contemporary, youth-oriented format while preserving its traditional foundations.

Attendees can expect an immersive cultural program showcasing Ga culture, traditions, history, arts, music, food, fashion, and identity. The event specifically aims to engage Ghanaians and the broader African diaspora, particularly younger audiences, fostering cultural connection and appreciation. The inclusion of a "Business Summit" suggests opportunities beyond cultural immersion, though specific business activities are not detailed in the available information.
