This year’s Aboakyer Festival has been held at Winneba by the Effutu people. It was pure display of #culture, #tradition, #art and #craft.
On Tuesday the fisher folks had their day at the beachfront with the ‘tug of war’ and ‘regatta’ (canoe race) amongst themselves to usher in the festival.

Then came the durbar day on Saturday, when the two Asafo groups set out to hunt for the deer at 5am. The first group that makes a catch then presents it to the durbar grounds for the chief to step on before it is sacrificed on Sunday.
