Founder’s Day is a public holiday that is celebrated in Ghana, West Africa, and is used to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah—Ghana’s first president and it is also a day that celebrates the founding fathers of Ghana at the same time. This day has been celebrated on September 21st on an annual basis since 2013. This holiday is one that’s gone through some changes over the years especially in 2019. The day was chnaged from 21st September to 4th August and its name was changed from Founder’s Day to Founders’ Day to make it plural so that it not only celebrated the birthday of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to also include a celebration of the other Big Six responsible for Ghana becoming an independent nation. This day is celebrated to commorate our leaders who struggled for the independence of Ghana.
Wishing you all a happy Founders’ Day.
