The residents and communities of Pokuase are thrilled to announce the annual Pokuase Abele Festival, set to take place this August. This year's celebration is especially significant as it marks 20 years of unity and togetherness among the people of Pokuase.

To commemorate this milestone, the festival, formerly known as Unity Week, has been renamed the Pokuase Abele Festival. The new name, "Abele," meaning "maize," reflects our commitment to creating a distinctive identity for the festival and enhancing the cultural significance of the annual Homowo celebration.

The renaming of the Pokuase Abele Festival signifies a new era for our community. It aims to bring greater recognition and excitement to our annual Homowo festival, inviting residents and those born in Pokuase to return home and partake in the festivities.

To mark the 20th celebration, the Pokuase Abele Festival will feature a diverse array of activities designed to engage the entire community:

1. Clean-Up Campaign: Promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.
