2024 Chale Wote Street Art Festival to take place from August 19 – 25

The 14th edition of the Chale Wote Street Art Festival is slated for August 19 to August 25.

The event will take place at the same venue and locations for last year’s. After organizers moved the event from the Jamestown township to Osu, this will be the second time the event will be held in Osu and its environs.

Last year, the event started from the Independence Square all the way into the Osu township, where the High Court complex is, down into Independence Square, into the Osu Castle, into the Osu community, all the way down to Oxford Street, and all up to the Osu cemetery traffic light coming towards Accra Sports Stadium, rounding it back into Independence Square.

The new venue, Osu, is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Accra, dating back to the early 19th century and has become an important part of the city’s commercial and cultural landscape.

Last year, the Black Star Square in Osu featured open-air mural exhibitions by leading Ghanaian and international artistes, showcasing work inspired by the rebellion of enslaved Afro-Brazilians in 1835 Salvador Bahia and their glorious return to present-day Ghana, Togo and Nigeria.

Organizers have called for vendors to register for the 2024 edition. People in the fields of art, technology, design, sports, and food beverage are supposed to call the organisers on 0209733031, 0539607842 and 0504737978 to make their bookings ahead of time.
