About Papa Nantwi Festival

The Papa Nantwi festival is an annual festival celebrated by the people of Kumawu in the Sekyere Kumawu district in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, in the month of March every year. It is a cultural festival commemorated by all Ashantis though the cultural events take place at Kumawu. The festival is used in commemorating the bravery and self-sacrificial spirit of their great ancestor, Nana Tweneboa Kodua (I) who is purported to have offered his life to be sacrificed to assist the Ashantis in defeating the Denkyiras, who were their overlords.
