"
In ever lasting memory of the anguish of our ancestors. May those who died
rest in peace. May those who return find their roots. May humanity never
perpetrate such injustice against humanity. We the living vow to uphold
this " |

The
Slave Trade forcibly took away millions of children of Africa hundreds of years
ago. PANAFEST is among other things targeted towards the descendants of these
unfortunate people living today in the Diaspora. PANAFEST is meant to provide a
platform to forge a sense of unity and identity and the need to re-discover their
roots.
The quest for African Identity is always spiritually relevant as a weapon for
the emancipation and development of the African Continent by all of African
descent. PANAFEST gives the unique opportunity for cultural linkages which will
ensure a continuing kinship with all children of Africa.

These are only some of the activities during PANAFEST. Others include a Gospel Rock Show, Film Shows, Pan African Colloquium and many more. Special for the little ones will be the International Children's Camp organized for children from the world over. They are thought African Studies in religion, art, craft, fashion, history, etc. The beauty of this camp is the way in which the African way of living is emphasized, especially the communal love shown.
PANAFEST is always held in
Cape Coast, Elmina, Assin Manso and Accra
Cape Coast used to be the Capital of the Gold Coast (now renamed Ghana) and
lies within 5 minutes drive from Elmina (Edina) home of the famous Elmina
Castle and site of the first European setting foot on African Soil. The Cape
Coast Castle was originally built to serve as lodge but gradually became the
largest Slave Trading Fort next to Elmina. Cape Coast is 144 km from Accra,
the capital of Ghana.
PANAFEST is the largest festival on the African Continent but is is not meant for Africans only. It is a chance for everybody the world over to come and experience Africa. Besides visiting the historic Slave Trading sites of Cape Coast and Elmina, attending the wonderful theater performances and cultural displays, you could hike through the Kakum National Park, take a trip to Kumasi-the Ashanti Capital or enjoy a Sunday trip on the Volta Lake just to mention a few of Ghana's attractions.
