Winneba Aboakyer Festival

The Aboakyer festival is a deer hunting event organised in honour of the tribal god of the people of Winneba called “Penkye Otu”. The god receives an annual sacrifice of a deer from the people. The traditional deer hunt celebrates the migration of the local people from Timbuktu hundreds of years ago. The Festival used to involve a human sacrifice being brought to the deity of the town but has now been replaced with catching and sacrificing a live deer.
The Festival is celebrated by the Effutu people of Simpa or Winneba in the Central Region of Ghana. It takes place every May in the Coastal town of Winneba. #Aboakyer #DeerFestival #ExperienceGhana #shareghana #FestivalsInGhana #AboakyerFestival #destinationghana
