The Chief of Akyem Tafo and custodian of the Ohum Festival, Daasebre Adusei Piasah IV, has announced a two-week ban on noise-making from June 3 to June 17, 2025.
This period of quiet observance is intended to create a peaceful and solemn atmosphere in preparation for the annual Ohum Festival, which will officially begin on June 17 and run through June 22, 2025.
The ban is deeply rooted in tradition and serves as a time for reflection, reverence, and spiritual preparation.
Residents of Akyem Tafo and Akyem Abuakwa are encouraged to honor the customs by refraining from loud music, drumming, and other forms of excessive noise during this sacred period.
