The story

Kpledzoo Festival Nungua in Nungua

Nungua's Kpledzoo festival is a planting-season observance that precedes the wider Homowo celebrations of Greater Accra's Ga towns, built around named rites including the Nsho Bulemo pot-filling ceremony and a symbolic walk between Oyibi and Nungua during which the traditional dish kpokpoi is sprinkled to mark the end of hunger.

Well before its July climax, Nungua's Kpledzoo festival works through a customary calendar of preparatory rites, opening with the Nsho Bulemo, a ceremony in which sacred pots are filled ahead of the main celebration.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Kpledzoo from a generic Ga harvest festival is its sequence of specifically named preparatory rites: the Nsho Bulemo, in which sacred pots are ritually filled, and a walk along the road between Oyibi and Nungua during which kpokpoi, the Ga's signature fermented-corn dish, is sprinkled to symbolically end a period of hunger

02

The mystery stays covered

As a planting festival held ahead of Homowo rather than a harvest festival held after it, Kpledzoo occupies an earlier point in the Ga-Adangme ceremonial calendar than the observances most visitors associate with Accra's traditional festivals, giving it a distinct seasonal role
