The Akwasidae Festival is a significant traditional celebration of the Ashanti people of Ghana, held every six weeks on a Sunday. Rooted in centuries of rich cultural heritage, the festival honors the Ashanti ancestors and celebrates the strength of the Golden Stool, which symbolizes the unity and soul of the Ashanti Kingdom. During the Akwasidae, the Asantehene (Ashanti king) sits in state at the Manhyia Palace, where subjects, well-wishers, and dignitaries pay homage and present gifts. Traditional drumming, dancing, and the display of royal regalia mark the event, showcasing the grandeur of Ashanti history and spirituality. The festival is not only a spiritual moment but also a time to reflect on past achievements, reinforce communal bonds, and preserve the legacy of the Ashanti forebears.
