The Jubilee House will, for the second time in a row, host the country’s independence anniversary parade this year.
This was disclosed by the Information Services Department while announcing arrangements for the media of the event scheduled for Friday, March 6, 2026, from 7:30 am.
Last year, the government cancelled the rotation of the celebration across regional capitals, saying the intention was to streamline a modest yet cost-effective celebration.
Citing the last celebration in Ho in the Volta region in March 2024, the government said it cost the country ¢15 million.
