About Ghanaian Independence Day

Ghanaian Independence Day is the national day of Ghana. It marks independence from the United Kingdom in 1957.

In 2027 it falls on a Saturday; in 2028 it’s on Monday 6 March, and in 2029 on Tuesday 6 March. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in March 2027: Laylat al-Qadr (6 Mar), Maha Shivaratri (6 Mar) and National Crown Roast of Pork Day (7 Mar). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
