Ho Yam Festival

In mid-September to September ending, the chiefs and people of Asogli State (Ho) and surrounding areas such as Sokode, Abutia Klefe and Akrofu celebrate their annual yam festival.

This is essentially a harvest festival.

Cooked yam is sprinkled at the various shrines.

This is done before any human being is allowed to cook and taste the real yam.

There is usually a grand durbar of chiefs where the chiefs sit in state to receive homage from their subjects.

The mode of celebration differs slightly from one traditional area to another.
