Harvest Festival in Cape Coast, Ghana
The Fetu Afahye - harvest festival of the Fetu people, gathers momentum after a period of ritual silence. The Omanhene - head chief, meditates in isolation for a week; drums are prohibited and fishing is banned in the Foso lagoon. But at the end of August a series of celebrations, including a regatta, the ceremonial reopening of the lagoon, bonfires and a cow sacrifice breaks the calm.
The partying climaxes on the first Saturday of September. Decked out in their finery, local chiefs parade through town, carried on brightly decorated litters and followed by elaborately dressed warrior groups known as Asafo Companies.
