Aflao Paramount Chief Named Patron Of Experience Volta Festival

The Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area, Torgbui Amenya Fiti V, has been officially unveiled as the patron of the forthcoming Experience Volta Festival.

This flagship cultural and tourism event celebrates the heritage and economic potential of the Volta Region.

The unveiling ceremony took place at the Aflao Palace of Torgbui Amenya Fiti V on Monday, September 29. Sub-chiefs, traditional priests, and festival organizers witnessed the symbolic occasion.

The Experience Volta Festival is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the Elwak Sports Stadium in Accra.

The festival has been endorsed by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) as part of the prestigious December in GH calendar and the Black Star Experience.

The festival aims to showcase the region’s rich traditions, vibrant heritage, and untapped economic opportunities.

According to Eric Seyram Agbolosu, CEO of Ewevi Multimedia Ltd, the festival’s dual purpose is to celebrate culture and drive development.

“We need to take Volta out of the existing market into a new market to attract more customers,” he said.

Torgbui Amenya Fiti V, in accepting his role as patron, pledged his full support to ensure the festival’s success.

He also extended a call to Ewes in the diaspora and Voltarians living outside the region to actively participate in the cultural initiative.

The festival promises a vibrant line-up of activities, including traditional drumming and dance, arts and crafts exhibitions, cultural performances, indigenous cuisine, and investment forums highlighting the region’s vast opportunities.

The festival is expected to stimulate tourism, create jobs, and boost the Volta Region’s role in Ghana’s cultural and economic growth. With Torgbui Amenya Fiti V as patron, organizers are confident that the festival will spotlight the richness of Ewe culture and set a model for cultural tourism in Ghana.

The Experience Volta Festival seeks to unify all towns and traditional areas under one grand cultural platform.

By hosting the festival in Accra, organizers aim to attract both local audiences and international visitors, offering an opportunity for Ewes to reconnect with their heritage.

The festival will serve as a one-stop cultural marketplace, offering an immersive experience of Volta’s music, food, dance, fashion, and tourism.

By merging culture with commerce, the festival is expected to boost small and medium-sized enterprises, artisans, creative talents, and tourism operators.

Ultimately, the Experience Volta Festival is a call to unity, identity, and pride, celebrating the heartbeat of the Volta Region within Ghana’s capital, while projecting its heritage onto the global stage.
