Join us for a transformative 3-day Diaspora Experience as part of Ete Dza 2025 (New Yam Festival) — a sacred celebration of gratitude, unity, and ancestral renewal in Hedzranawo–Denu, Volta Region.
The Ete Dza Festival is a centuries-old tradition marking the harvest of the new yam — a symbol of fertility, prosperity, and thanksgiving to the ancestors. This year’s theme, “Honoring the Harvest, Restoring Our Roots,” invites members of the African Diaspora to reconnect with their ancestral homeland through culture, ceremony, and community engagement.
Experience the rhythm of the drums, taste the first fruits of the harvest, and stand together in unity as we honor the ancestors and celebrate the spirit of return.
