Independence Day, March 6 - 1957
The Independence Square (Black Star Square) is the site for Ghana`s Independence Day parades and national festivals. Every visitor is free to take pictures of buildings (included the "Black Star Gate"), but might be not permitted for close up photography of the "Independence Arch", during any event. In any way; Please ask - if possible - for permission, as sometimes, the square is guarded. |
The Independence Square has stands that have 30,000 seating capacity. The square boasts two monuments: the Independence Arch and the Black Star Monument, also known as the Black Star Gate. There is also an memorial, for fallen soldiers, facing the Independence Arch.
Each government service is represented in full ceremonial dress: the army, navy, air force, police, firemen, special presidential forces and a selection of schools and colleges parade in front of the president and invited world leaders as well as 30,000 spectators.
This is accompanied by music provided by the military mass band, cultural dancers and school children from the region paying homage to the president and invited dignitaries. |
