Homowo Festival, Ga Mashie

Jamestown, Accra · Greater Accra

The Ga harvest festival of kpokpoi, drumming and ritual cleansing, ending in a joyful durbar and street party.

The local tip

Accept kpokpoi with palm-nut soup at a family house if invited; it is a shared meal, not a performance for visitors.

Check before leaving

Confirm the exact durbar dates, which follow the Ga calendar and shift annually.
