  "account": "Takoradi experienced a grand 'All Out' celebration as the 2026 Guinness Ghana DJ Awards tour arrived in the Western Region. The event kicked off with a lively street party featuring masquerade performances and music that echoed through the main streets before culminating at the bustling market square. This cultural display brought the excitement of the DJ Awards season to the community, with people dancing, cheering, and interacting in the streets. Following the street party, the festivities moved to Mouds Bar for the main regional event, Pub Fest. Headlined by the energetic DJ Shiwaawa, the lineup included a talented mix of DJs such as DJ Shyno, the Western Region's Best DJ, DJ Bizzy, resident DJ Lynka, and DJ Ebo, who treated the audience to a special performance. One standout moment occurred during DJ Shyno's set when Kekeli the Party Trumpeter added a live musical element with his impressive trumpet renditions, enhancing the 'All Out' energy in the oil city. The event drew a massive crowd, with the venue reaching full capacity and latecomers facing difficulties in finding parking spaces. This Western Region stop followed the tour's opening in Winneba, where a street float and cultural display preceded Pub Fest at Tempest Lounge on August 15. Organized by Mercury Republic and powered by Smirnoff, Pub Fest extends the excitement of the Ghana DJ Awards beyond the main ceremony, bringing the festivities into communities nationwide. By giving regional DJs a platform to showcase their talents, reach new audiences, and connect with fans, Pub Fest allows people to experience the season's energy in their own communities, support local favorites, and discover new DJs while enjoying their favorite Smirnoff Pineapple Punch or Black.",
