Festivals in Ghana

The Damba festival is the most important and enduring local cultural festival in Ghana. Celebrated in the Dagomba lunar month of Damba (the third month in the Islamic calendar), this celebration is a glorification of chieftaincy. Gonja people also celebrate the Damba festival with great rejoicing. This event is a major source of pride and prosperity for the local community. Among the other cultural festivals, it is one of the most popular in the Savanna region and is a highlight of the cultural life of the country.

The Damba festival is a major event in Ghana, and attracts foodies from around the world. Food is served in colourful tents, and is available at low prices. Visitors can enjoy a variety of food, including traditional as well as non-traditional dishes. Many people even go to the festival with family and friends, as the food is always prepared with care and presented in an inviting atmosphere. For the ultimate dining experience, be sure to visit the Damba festival in September.

In January, the Elmina people celebrate Elmina Christmas, which is essentially a Ghanaian version of Christmas. The customs include drumming, dancing, and fish catching. Other festivals in Ghana, such as Dzawuwu, take place in February and are celebrated by the Agave and Talensi regions. In these areas, the people offer sacrifices to the gods to ensure good harvests and abundant fishing.
