Organisers have officially launched the highly anticipated return of the Accra Bar Show and Accra Bar Week, setting a new benchmark for Africa’s hospitality, drinks, and mixology landscape.
The dual celebration is designed to drive industry growth while engaging consumers, bridging professional development with the city’s vibrant nightlife culture. Serving as the physical anchor and central B2B trade exhibition, the Accra Bar Show is focused on knowledge sharing, brand exhibitions, talent development, and high-level networking.
The event will be hosted at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel, creating a professional, educational, and high-energy trade environment.
Founder of the Accra Bar Show, Kojo Aidoo, said global spirits, local botanicals, and beverage brands will showcase innovative products, tools, and trends to bar owners, managers, bartenders, consumers and procurement managers.
With the masterclass, he said world-class mixologists and global industry leaders will lead advanced sessions on bartending techniques and bar management. Specialised programmes such as the Bols International Bar Management Course will also run.
Taking the energy out of the exhibition halls and into the streets, Accra Bar Week will transform the city’s nightlife into an experiential and social festival from August 5-8.
Kojo Aidoo assured that premium international bar teams and renowned guest mixologists will take over Accra’s top-tier venues to serve one-night-only menus.
He also indicated that there will be immersive brand activations, themed sensory experiences, and exclusive collaborations will run across different bars and lounges in the city. He said cocktail enthusiasts, foodies, and socialites can explore Accra’s hottest spots and experience world-class mixology firsthand.
While the Accra Bar Show gathers the industry under one roof to learn, network, and discover new products, Accra Bar Week invites the entire city to celebrate cocktail culture through live, immersive nightlife experiences. Registration, ticketing details, and the full event schedule are now live on www.accrabarshow.com for trade professionals, brands, and consumers eager to participate in the landmark event.
