The youth of _Mabo Hard_ today hit the streets of Adjen Kotoku in a colorful walk as part of preparations for this year’s _Homowo Festival_.
The event was _organized by Nii Kpakpo Jase_ and brought together hundreds of young people who danced, drummed, and chanted traditional Ga songs.
Dressed in cultural attire and carrying _taa_, the youth moved from the Mabo Hard junction through key areas of the community to officially signal the start of Homowo activities in the area.
According to _Nii Kpakpo Jase_, the walk was aimed at _“uniting the youth, cleansing the community, and creating awareness that Homowo is here with us.”_
Residents came out in their numbers to cheer and join the procession as the youth showcased the rich culture and heritage of the Ga people.
Homowo, which means _“hooting at hunger”_, is celebrated annually by the Ga people to commemorate their migration and victory over famine.
