                        The Agona Nyakrom Traditional Area proudly launched their 2025 annual Akwambo Festival on Saturday, June 28, 2025, with a theme: "Salvaging Declining Social Values; A Shared Responsibility Of Government & Traditional Rulers."  The festival, slated for August 2nd to 10th, promises to be a vibrant celebration of culture, heritage, and community development.

These routes were crucial for escape and tracking enemies and were cleared annually to ensure readiness.  Historically, the festival also served as a form of census, where able-bodied men who participated in wars would return home and place oil palm branches near the "Oman Posuban" (shrine).
