OUR CULTURE, OUR HERITAGE


The Luton BAAKO Festival, organised by the Ghana Society UK, provides an opportunity to promote a celebration of intercultural exchange and understanding while also seeking to consolidate the value of culture and heritage, as outlined in the Luton Rising delivery strategy vision, which aims to enable more people to benefit, regardless of who they are or where they live, work, or play.
