The Akwantukese Festival












Saturday saw the highlight of the year for Koforidua and the New Juaben area. Jackson Park was filled with chiefs, dancers and drummers with very large drums. We arrived very early and sat in as much shade as we could, in a spot on the edge of the square. Unfortunately the owner had not turned up with the key so we couldn't be served any drinks. Eventually the chiefs, the local MP, the Municipal Chief Executive and other dignatories arrived. The wait was well worth it and Carla got her moment of fame when she was plucked from the audience to dance. She did not disappoint.
