The 13th Chale Wote Street Art Festival is still happening in Osu, Ghana's Greater Accra Region, where the streets have been converted into a dynamic centre.

The one-week festival, which began on Monday, August 21, 2023, continues to celebrate art, culture, and creativity. The festival was previously held in Jamestown before moving to Osu.

The new site honours Osu's rich history, which dates back to the early 1800s, but has developed into a bustling economic and cultural town.

The relocation to Osu "provides a fresh canvas for artists and festival-goers alike to engage with new surroundings while celebrating the spirit of Chale Wote,'' says the festival's director, Mantse Aryeequaye, per 3xtra.
