Cultural Diversity

Ghana's culture is seen in the variety of crafts it produces, including ceramics, beading, wood carving, and kente weaving, all of which appear to have their own symbolism or social mores. Festivals are yet another way that communities in Ghana celebrate the beauty of life. From yams to waterfalls, festivals are ways for people to cool off and celebrate life with music, dance, drumming, and lots of food. Music festivals and monthly traditional festivals are also ways for people to celebrate life.

The Edina Bakatue event can resemble a colorful boat where the river god is prayed to protect the people. The Odambea festival stands apart in a world that is experiencing civil unrest and revolt. By honoring non-secular traditions in light of historical events, it pays gratitude to the sacrifices made by the Nkusukum people who migrated from Techiman. You can simply plan your visit around the several annual festivities, such as the bridal festival, the rice pageant, the traditional Aboakyir deer-hunting festival, and the PANAFEST Theater festival.
