Festivities
On Christmas Eve night, you can attend any church for the Ghanaian Christian experience. It is not a party, but expect some dancing and merrymaking. Christmas Day is also a church day and time for family gatherings. Don’t be surprised if you are invited for meals and offered freebies. That’s the tradition and the typical Ghanaian hospitality.
You can attend the masquerade carnival called the West Side Carnival in Takoradi in the Western Region on Christmas Day.
