Odwira Festival
A Festival of Renewal, Gratitude, and Identity
The Heartbeat of Akuapem
Odwira is one of the most important expressions of Akuapem identity, and in Amanokrom it remains a sacred season of purification, thanksgiving, remembrance, homage, and renewal.
It is a time when the community pauses to honour God, ancestors, leadership, and the bonds that sustain the people.
What Odwira Means
Odwira is not only a celebration. It is a moral and spiritual reset. It is a time to cleanse, reflect, give thanks, remember the departed, affirm leadership, and prepare for a prosperous new year.
