The long-awaited Tutu festival is finally on its way, and all is set for its celebration for the first time in 41 years.
As announced earlier on Nkwa Entertainment Xpress, the celebrations are scheduled to take place in December 2025.
At the inauguration of the Festival Planning Committee and subcommittees on Sunday, February 23, 2025, it was announced that the launch of Tutu Kese Afahye will be held on Monday, April 21, 2025.
The various committees were charged with specific duties geared towards the successful organisation of the highly anticipated festival. The subcommittees unveiled include the Finance Committee, Logistics and protocol, Communications & publicity, Accommodation & welfare committees, among others which will be working under the auspices of the Festival Planning Committee.
The inaugural meeting was convened by Okumanini Baffuor Asare Kyeahene II, Paramount Chief and President of the Afutuakwa Traditional Council.
In attendance were influential personalities like departmental heads, business moguls, and media personalities within the Afutuakwa Traditional Area.
The Tutu Kese festival was last celebrated in 1984, and the people of Assin Fosu and its environs have been longing to witness its return owing to its economic, social, and cultural benefits.
