All is set for the maiden celebration of the Ahanta Fest UK in London on Saturday, November 21.
Organised by the Ahanta Development Network Global, in partnership with Ahanta Community UK and Ireland, the grand event is on the theme: "Ahanta to the World, Festival of Culture, Music and Dance."
The Atwimanlihene of Ahanta Traditional Area and Diaspora, Nana Kwesi Quayson I, said the cultural explosion was a giant step towards preserving and promoting Ahanta culture in the Diaspora.
"Our children must know our culture and speak our language," he maintained.
Nana Quayson said a highlight of the event would be raising funds to support education in the Ahanta area back home.
The Ahanta Fest UK 2026, he said, would be attended by a large number of Ahantas, other Ghanaians in the UK and Ireland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France, and other parts of the world.
A large number of members of Parliament, ministers of state and traditional rulers from Ghana would take part in the celebration, said Nana Quayson.
The High Commissioner to the UK, Sabah Zita Benson, is also expected to grace the event, where the main artiste will be Gyedu-Blay Ambolley.
Other Ghanaian cultural troupes in the UK would also contribute to the thrilling event.
