The streets of Dunkwa-on-Offin buzzed with excitement as over 15,000 people gathered to celebrate Ghana’s 68th Independence Day at the Dunkwa Yellow Festival.
Now in its third edition, the festival has grown into the biggest annual celebration in the Upper Denkyira East Municipality of the Central Region.
Dressed in vibrant yellow outfits, revelers filled the streets with music, dancing, and cultural displays, creating a lively and colorful spectacle.
The event attracted prominent chiefs, former municipal executives, business leaders, media personalities, clergy members, and locals, all coming together to celebrate Dunkwa-on-Offin’s rich heritage.
Beyond the festivities, the festival provided a major economic boost, with hotels, food vendors, and artisans recording high sales.
Speaking to Adom News, event organizer James Amoah, popularly known as Awushi, said the festival was created to revive the 6th March celebrations in Dunkwa-on-Offin, which had declined over the years.
With strong community support, Dunkwa Yellow has now become a highly anticipated annual event.
Kumawood stars in attendance praised the massive turnout and encouraged the people of Denkyira to continue supporting the initiative.
Participants also shared their excitement, highlighting how the festival has not only brought joy to the town but also strengthened the local economy.
