Easter in Ghana is a time of amazing music and a variety of activities to enjoy the season in your own way. Whether it’s the Yenko Festival or visits to the vibrant markets, you are guaranteed an amazing cultural experience. Alternatively, the more adventurous might find themselves at the Paragliding Festival, which has become an integral part of the annual Easter celebrations in Ghana. The festival attracts both Ghanaians and foreigners alike for more than 3 days of spectacular aerial fun, ceremony and music.

‘ Summer’, which is technically the rainy season in Ghana, still has lots to offer by way of both traditional and modern festivals. Some of these include:
Chale Wote – A street art festival which is an alternative platform that brings art, music and dance together.
Aboakyer – Rival militant groups compete in Deer Hunting in Winneba
Bakatue – Celebration in Elmina to mark the beginning of a new fishing season
Damba – Islamic festival celebrated by the people of the Northern and Upper Regions.
Homowo – Homowo literally means ‘hooting at hunger’; A celebration by the Ga people to remind them of their victory over famine.

The end of the year’s activities starts off with the Celebration of Hogbetsotso in November, the festival of the Ewe’s to commemorate their escape from the Ille Ife in Nigeria. Most of the remaining activities happen in December, with various parties,concerts and festivals, including Afrochella.
