‘This is Tema' Festival was initiated in 2019 by Sarkodie who was born and bred in Community 9, Tema to show appreciation to his home base fans.

 As Sarkodie later explained on stage, the festival was put on hold due to COVID -19 and other engagements but he indicated his intention to sustain the festival which this year, started from Saturday evening all the way into Sunday dawn when Obidi as Sarkodie is sometimes known, wrapped up with his song ‘Country Side’ which features Black Sherif.

The Chemu Park was packed with loads of people from Tema, Ashaiman, Nungua and other communities who came to watch Sarkodie and a host of other artistes who came to support the festival.

Sarkodie shared the stage with acts including Eyfa, EL, Paedae, HipHop musician, Medikal, 'Effiakuma Love’ crooner, Kofi Kinaata, Donzy, Kumasi-based Kofi Jamar, and Kweku Flick to add pizzazz to the festival.
