NFMFD Ghana is inviting registered masquerade groups, fancy dress troupes, and cultural performers across Ghana to express interest in representing the nation at this prestigious event. Participation will also strengthen ties with the Ghanaian diaspora and foster cultural unity abroad.

In addition to performance opportunities, the Montreal Carnival experience offers participants exposure to international audiences, networking opportunities, and the chance to promote Ghana as a cultural tourism destination. The Federation believes this initiative will further enhance Ghana’s presence in the global carnival community.

Interested groups and individuals are encouraged to contact the Federation for further information regarding registration, travel arrangements, and participation requirements.
