The Central Region is about to witness another unforgettable moment in music culture as BongoFest, the region’s biggest music festival, makes its highly anticipated return this September in Mankessim. After a spectacular first edition, the festival is coming back stronger, louder, and even more exciting—once again with Quamina MP, one of Ghana’s most beloved hitmakers, taking the headline spot.
Born and raised in Mankessim, Quamina MP has never shied away from honoring his roots, and BongoFest stands as a celebration of exactly that—homegrown talent, community pride, and pure musical energy. The second edition of BongoFest was a cultural explosion, pulling thousands of music lovers, creatives, and fans into the town of Mankessim for a night of unforgettable performances and unity.
Now, with momentum on his side, Quamina MP took to Instagram to officially announce the return of the festival. Sharing the official flyer, he captioned:
- “IT’S OFFICIAL!! BONGOFEST 25! SEE YOU IN MANKESSIM THIS SEPTEMBER ❤️”
While the exact date and venue are yet to be announced, the buzz is already circulating fast across social media and the streets of Mankessim. Fans know what’s coming—a full-blown celebration of Ghanaian music, street culture, fashion, and creativity, all curated in the spirit of unity and fun.
Why BongoFest Matters
BongoFest isn’t just another concert—it’s a movement. Rooted in the spirit of community and artistry, the festival was created to bridge the gap between emerging talent and mainstream platforms, while celebrating the cultural richness of the Central Region. It also serves as a powerful tribute to Quamina MP’s late father, affectionately known as “Bongo,” whose name inspired the festival’s title.
Through BongoFest, Quamina MP has given Mankessim more than a concert—he’s sparked a cultural renaissance, spotlighting local talent and bringing Ghana’s wider creative community into a region often overlooked by large-scale entertainment events.

Though the full lineup hasn’t been revealed, expectations are sky-high. If the 2024 edition was anything to go by, fans can look forward to:
-
Electrifying performances from Ghana’s top acts and rising stars

Live DJ sets and curated sound experiences

Whether you’re coming for the music, the culture, or just the pure vibes, BongoFest 2025 promises to deliver an experience like no other.
