As part of preparations for the 2025 Awutu Awubia Festival, the Nananom of the Awutu Traditional Area have announced a ban on drumming and noise-making across all Awutu communities.
The directive, which forms part of ritual performances and spiritual cleansing ahead of the revered festival, will take effect from Tuesday, June 3, to Wednesday, June 26, 2025.
The announcement was made by the Traditional Priest of the area, Otsor Odai Tutu, during a press engagement.
He explained that the three-week observance is a sacred tradition that ensures the successful celebration of the Awubia Festival, one of Ghana's oldest and most culturally significant festivals, which embodies the values, customs, and historical identity of the Awutu people. "The period is meant for solemn reflection, prayers, and purification of the land.
