The Koforidua Youth Resource Center has been selected as the venue for the national parade, and the Committee conducted an on-site assessment to provide necessary recommendations.

Lord Commey encouraged the region to leverage the event for self-promotion on both national and global scales.
He called upon the private sector to actively participate in sponsorship and partnership, emphasizing the opportunity to become a part of history.
