PANAFEST

Experience the Pan African Historical Theatre Festival (PANAFEST) — Ghana’s most powerful cultural event honoring the African spirit and the shared history of Black people around the world.

PANAFEST was first envisioned in 1980 by Pan-Africanist Efua Sutherland, and officially launched in 1991. What began as a theatre-focused event has grown into a vibrant biennial festival filled with music, dance, drama, art, spiritual ceremonies, lectures, and ancestral remembrance.

On this guided tour, you’ll retrace the emotional slave trade routes from the Northern regions of Ghana to the haunting dungeons of Cape Coast and Elmina Castles, following the path once taken by our ancestors.

But PANAFEST is not just about remembrance — it’s also about healing, reconnection, and celebration. Much like our Cultural Heritage Tour, it brings together people of African descent from across the globe to honor their roots, build unity, and uplift one another through culture, conversation, and creativity.

Like PANAFEST, our Cultural Heritage Tour offers a meaningful way to reconnect with African roots, explore sacred sites, and reflect on shared history.

Whether you’re looking to explore your heritage or join a powerful global community, PANAFEST in Ghana is a life-changing experience, and Awuni Tours Ghana can help you be part of it.
