The highly anticipated Black Star Festival, a celebration of Ghanaian heritage and Pan-African culture, has been rescheduled to new dates in October.
Organizers, GD Visionary Group, announced that the festival will now take place on October 25 and 26, 2025, at the same venue in Washington, D.C.
The event was originally slated for September 26 to 28, but the organizers explained that the postponement had become necessary in order to address important matters and ensure the festival lives up to its promise of excellence.
“This decision, though unavoidable, has been made to ensure that important matters arising can be fully addressed,” GD Visionary Group noted in a statement.
“The Black Star Festival is positioned to deliver its intended impact as a flagship platform for Ghanaian heritage, cultural diplomacy, and Pan-African solidarity.”
The festival, which brings together artists, cultural leaders, and members of the African diaspora, is expected to showcase Ghana’s rich traditions while strengthening ties across the Pan-African community.
Organizers assured the public that preparations are well underway and that the October edition will be an unforgettable experience.
GD Visionary Group also reaffirmed its commitment to promoting Ghana’s image on the global stage.
“Together with our partners, we remain dedicated to celebrating Ghana and her rich cultural heritage,” the statement added.
The Black Star Festival has been described as a cultural diplomacy initiative that seeks to spotlight Ghana as a hub of heritage, music, and global cultural exchange.
With its new date, expectations remain high for a memorable and impactful celebration.
