Detty December

Detty December: Ghana's Ultimate Festive Extravaganza Dive into Detty December, Ghana's electrifying month-long celebration from mid-December through New Year's, born from the 2019 "Year of Return" initiative that draws the global African diaspora home. This "dirty December" vibe, playful slang for unrestrained fun, transforms Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast into hubs of Afrobeat rhythms, beach raves, and cultural parades, boosting the economy with tourists spending over $2,500 each on music festivals, nightlife, and heritage events. For 2025, expect non-stop energy with AfroFuture (formerly Afrochella) headlining NYE vibes, AfroBeats & Wine Festival for luxurious tastings, Baajo International Dance Festival for rhythmic immersion, and Ghana Rocks for rock-infused parties. Our Heritage Tour packages weave in these highlights with safe transport, expert guides, and transparent pricing, perfect for blending self-discovery at Cape Coast Castle with all-white beach bashes and VIP royalty naming ceremonies. Join the unity, flavors like jollof rice, and infectious joy under 30°C sunny skies!
