Dashiki Festival 2026 marked the tenth anniversary of one of Ghana’s most distinctive community celebrations. Held at La Wireless Cluster of Schools Park in Labadi, Accra, the festival brought together fashion, football, culture, entrepreneurship, entertainment and creative expression in one vibrant programme.
As a supporting partner, 1xBet added a strong interactive dimension to the anniversary edition by creating a dedicated brand zone where adult visitors could relax, play, create and learn more about responsible gaming.
A festival full of energy
The programme combined a football tournament, the traditional Dashiki Health Walk, fashion and cultural showcases, a trade fair, entertainment and interactive experiences.The football competition brought teams and supporters together around the pitch and concluded with an awards ceremony recognising both team and individual performances. The prize packages were presented by the organisers with contributions from 1xBet, which supported the rewards awarded across the tournament.
Girls School Area Team won the tournament and received GHS 10,000, a trophy, medals, 1xBet jerseys and drinks. La Wireless Team finished as first runner-up and received GHS 7,000, medals, 1xBet jerseys, while Caterpillas FC placed third and received GHS 5,000, medals. Villas Monday Stars completed the top four and were awarded 1xBet jerseys.
Individual prizes were also presented to Richard Addy, who received GHS 500 as Best Player, and Wonder Segbawu, who received GHS 500 as Best Goalkeeper.
1xBet was represented throughout the programme, including during the Dashiki Health Walk, which took participants along the route from Trade Fair through Independence Square to La Wireless School Park.
An interactive 1xBet experience
At the main venue, the 1xBet Zone became one of the most visible and active spaces on the festival grounds. Guests could take part in table football, Bag Toss and the Wheel of Fortune, while the lounge and charging station offered a place to rest and recharge.
The creative corner added another dimension to the experience. Canvases, easels, brushes and paints were available for visitors who wanted to express themselves through art, while the hydration point offered water and soft drinks throughout the day.
Fashion meets local creativity
A special part of the partnership was the collaboration between 1xBet and Ghanaian fashion brand Kustom Looks Clothier. Together, they created a limited-edition collection of branded festival T-shirts that combined 1xBet’s visual identity with the spirit of Dashiki Festival and elements of contemporary Ghanaian design.
The shirts were not produced for mass sale. Instead, they were awarded through selected festival activities, competitions and giveaways. The collaboration also highlighted 1xBet’s support for Ghana’s creative industry and local designers.
1xBalance promotes responsible betting
1xBet considers responsible betting an essential part of its role as a betting operator. Through 1xBalance, the brand aims to help players make informed decisions, maintain control over their activity and keep betting within healthy personal and financial limits.
The 1xBet Zone also included a dedicated 1xBalance activation. Brand representatives introduced adult visitors to practical tools and principles designed to support a more responsible approach to betting and gaming.
Guests could complete a short self-assessment quiz, reflect on their gaming habits and learn more about budget control, informed decision-making and the 1xBalance resources available to them.
1xBalance is an ongoing 1xBet educational initiative that continues beyond individual events. Its permanent online platform, 1xBalance.com, gives users access to self-assessment tools, a bankroll calculator, practical guides and regularly updated educational materials designed to support informed and balanced gaming habits.
A decade worth celebrating
1xBet’s participation at Dashiki Festival 2026 connected several important directions: support for Ghanaian culture and local design, football and entertainment, direct engagement with festival guests and the promotion of responsible gaming through 1xBalance.
The tenth anniversary edition once again confirmed Dashiki Festival’s role as a visible platform for Ghanaian culture, creativity and community energy. Through its interactive zone, designer collaboration and 1xBalance activation, 1xBet helped expand the experience and create more ways for guests to take part in the celebration.
