The Worawora Traditional Council in the Biakoye District of Ghana's Oti Region has announced the 2026 Akwantutenten Festival. The council invited indigenes, businesses, and other stakeholders to support the development initiatives of the traditional area. The festival, themed "Celebrating Our Heritage, Building Our Future Together," was launched at the Worawora Durbar Grounds under the leadership of Daasebre Sarfro Baah III.
Akwantutenten, meaning "The Great Migration," commemorates the community's historic journey from the Ashanti Region in 1732 to their present settlement. The 2026 festival, scheduled for October 24 to November 1, will have a strong development focus, with funds raised during the Grand Durbar used to renovate the Worawora Local Authority Basic School and build mini-bridges.
The council also invited high-profile guests, including the Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, Nestlé Ghana Limited, and BB Energy Ghana. The festival will feature events such as a clean-up exercise, free health screening, a street carnival, and a thanksgiving service. Nana Kwadwo Nyarko, Apegya-hene of Worawora, emphasized the importance of the festival in preserving the community's history and traditions.
