Odwira
and Ohum Festivals
Akuapem Odwira and Chum Festivals, two of the famous and most important
cultural festivals celebrated in the country, are celebrated in
turns by the chains of towns on the Akuapem Ridge. These festivals
commence in September and end in January every year. The ceremonies
include purification of the stools, reaffirmation of political loyalties
and traditional allegiance. Each of these festivals is crowned with
a colourful durbar of chiefs and people of the area/town concerned.
Culture is seen at its best during these festive occasions. |
