Ayerye Festival

During the festival, visitors are welcomed to share food and drinks. The people put on traditional clothes, and there is a durbar — a public reception — of chiefs.^[9][10] There is also dancing and drumming.^[11]

This festival is celebrated to mark an event that took place in the past.^[12] It is also celebrated to honor their ancestors who fought their way from the Ghana Empire to Techiman and later to their current settlement after going through toils and tribulations.^[1] It is also to remind the people of their community it is safe from wicked intruders and the need for them to be vigilant.^[13]
