Ga Mantse to attend grand Homowo UK festival 2026 in London
The Ga Mantse, His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, is set to attend the Grand Homowo UK Festival in London on October 3, 2026.
His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse, will attend the Grand Homowo UK Festival in London on October 3, 2026. The event, organized by Ga Dangme UK & Ireland, will take place at the Wandsworth Civic Centre on Wandsworth High Street. The festival aims to celebrate Ga heritage and traditions, bringing together communities and cultural enthusiasts.
The Ga Mantse will be accompanied by chiefs, queen mothers, traditional leaders, and elders from the Ga Traditional Council, marking his second attendance at the UK festival. Homowo, a traditional harvest festival of the Ga people in Accra, features sacred rites, a royal procession, drumming, cultural performances, music, and Kpokpoi, a traditional meal.
This year's theme, "Beyond Katamanso – 200 Years of Peaceful Co-Existence," highlights 200 years of peaceful coexistence since the Battle of Katamanso. The festival will also launch the Homowo Hunger Alleviation Project Initiative (HHAPI), which aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 to end hunger and food insecurity. HHAPI aims to address hunger in Ghana and abroad by using Homowo's values and story for practical interventions.
Following the festival, a thanksgiving service and a business summit will provide opportunities for Ghanaian businesses to connect with investors in the United Kingdom, fostering stronger links between Ghanaian communities in Ghana and the diaspora.
