The Ghanaian community in Stockholm came together on Saturday, 4 July 2026, for the second edition of the annual Ghana Union Party in the Park, held this year under the banner Ghana Union Party in the Park 2026.
The event, organised by Ghana Union Stor-Stockholm in collaboration with its sister associations, took place at RĂĄgsved Park in Stockholm and brought together Ghanaians, friends of Ghana, families, community leaders and representatives of African community organisations for a vibrant celebration of Ghanaian culture, heritage and community spirit.
The colourful outdoor celebration was graced by Her Excellency Dr. Margaret Miewien Chebere, Ambassador of the Republic of Ghana to the Kingdoms of Denmark and Sweden, together with members of her delegation.
Her presence added significance to the occasion and underscored the Embassy's continued commitment to engaging with Ghanaian communities and organisations across its countries of accreditation.

One of the highlights of the day was an impressive cultural performance by Sankofa Cultural Dance and Performing Arts Sweden, which captivated guests with traditional Ghanaian music and dance performances celebrating Ghana's rich cultural heritage.
Attendees also enjoyed a wide variety of authentic Ghanaian cuisine, refreshments and products provided by food and merchandise vendors, while DJs and entertainers kept the atmosphere lively throughout the day with a vibrant blend of Ghanaian and African music.
The event provided an opportunity for members of the Ghanaian community to reconnect with their cultural roots while introducing friends of Ghana and members of Stockholm's wider multicultural community to Ghanaian traditions and values.
