Dunseema Festival ’25: 24-Hour Culture in Kandiga, Ghana

Kandiga, UE — The rich tapestry of Ghanaian culture is set to explode into life as the Dunseema Festival ’25 has been officially announced. This 24-hour non-stop event is scheduled for December 31st, 2025, beginning at 10:00 AM in Kandiga. The festival promises a profound and energetic showcase of tradition, music, dance, and the exhilarating sport of wrestling.

Theme and Cultural Significance of Dunseema

The theme for the 2025 celebration is: “Youth, Culture, and Community: The Spirit of Dunseema.” This focus highlights the event’s role not only as a celebration of heritage but as a crucial platform for intergenerational connection, ensuring that traditional practices—particularly the indigenous forms of wrestling and horsemanship—are passed on and celebrated by young people.

Attendees are invited to “Experience Nature’s spirit day and night” through a continuous stream of cultural activities. The presence of a horse, often decorated, suggests the importance of equestrian skills and displays in the local culture, which may feature prominently alongside the physical contests.

A New Year’s Eve Tradition

Stretching across 24 hours, the Dunseema Festival serves as a powerful and meaningful way for the community to transition from the old year to the new. It’s a gathering that reinforces social bonds through shared artistic performances, communal feasting, and the excitement of traditional sports. The timing ensures a full day of cultural immersion leading up to the New Year’s celebrations.

The festival relies on community support and partnerships to succeed, with organizations such as AKAYET listed as partners.
