Absolutely! The Homowo Festival, celebrated by the Ga people in Accra, is a vibrant and significant event. On the eve of the main festival, August 19th, the atmosphere in Osu and surrounding areas is typically filled with excitement and preparation. This period is marked by various activities including traditional rituals, rehearsals for performances, and community gatherings.

The festival itself, starting on August 20th, is a time of great celebration, commemorating the Ga people’s victory over famine. It features colorful processions, traditional drumming, dancing, and feasting. The highlight of the festival is often the eating of “Kpokpoe” (a traditional dish made from corn doe) and “Palm Nut Soup,” which symbolizes the abundance and prosperity that the people are celebrating.
It’s a wonderful time to immerse yourself in Ga culture and experience the rich traditions of the Homowo Festival.
