Akwantutenten Festival
The chiefs and people of Worawora who are Akans celebrate their newly revived festival called Akwantutenten.
This festival is to commemorate the exodus of the people of Worawora from Ashanti-land to their present abode.
It is celebrated like most Akan festivals culminating in a colourful durbar of chiefs on a Saturday.
Chiefs sit in state to receive homage from their subjects.
Thousands of citizens and other Akans throng the town of Worawora to give of their best.
The festival, a major crowd puller, involves a pilgrimage to their first settlements up the hills overlooking the hills at which foot the present settlement is located.
