Organized under the auspices of Konor Nene Nuer Keteku IV, the festival will celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Agotime Traditional Area in Ghana’s Volta Region, a tradition that we all should respect and appreciate.
The 2024 festival, themed “Repositioning the Kente Heritage for Inclusive Development,” is designed to be a celebration for all, with activities that promote community growth and showcase the beauty of Kente cloth.
