When December arrives in Ghana, the city of Accra transforms into a meeting point for music lovers, returning members of the diaspora and travellers eager to experience the country’s famous festive spirit.

Adding to the season’s excitement is Detty Splash Pool Party, a high-energy gathering that brings music, poolside fun and social connections together at Bella Afrikana Beach Club.

Organised by ABROKYIRE BOYZ, Detty Splash forms part of the wider Detty December experience, a festive season that has grown into a major attraction for Ghanaians abroad and international visitors.

The period is known for concerts, nightlife, beach outings and reunions, offering a lively way to reconnect with Ghana through entertainment and shared experiences.

At Detty Splash, expect a soundtrack of Afrobeats, Amapiano and international hits, with DJs Schemes, Wallpaper, Milzy, Chris, Misty and Teabee among the featured performers. Hosts King Duke, K Prince Global and Kwasi Beast will help keep the crowd entertained as the party unfolds through the night.

Beyond the music, guests can enjoy the poolside atmosphere, mingle with fellow revellers and opt for VIP tables or cabanas for a more exclusive experience. Packages are available for groups of different sizes, making the event suitable for friends travelling together or visitors looking to celebrate in style.

For tourists, Detty Splash offers a taste of Accra’s contemporary nightlife and the social energy that makes December a popular time to visit Ghana.

For locals and returning diaspora members, it is an opportunity to reconnect with friends, enjoy familiar sounds and become part of the city’s festive rhythm.

The event listing contains conflicting date and time details: the heading states December 30, while the description advertises December 27, with different finishing times. Visitors should confirm the correct schedule before making plans.

For anyone planning a festive-season visit, Detty Splash promises a night of music, dancing and poolside excitement in Accra.

Imagine sinking your feet into warm sand, listening to the Atlantic Ocean roll towards the shore, and watching a film beneath a sky full of stars.

At Afrikana Beach House in Accra, this simple pleasure becomes the heart of Movie by the Beach, a weekly event offering a refreshing way to spend a Tuesday evening.

Organised by Bella Group, the experience takes place every Tuesday at 8 p.m., bringing cinema and seaside relaxation together in one inviting setting.

While traditional cinemas offer dark rooms and rows of seats, this beachfront gathering encourages guests to kick off their shoes, settle into the sand and enjoy a movie with the ocean breeze as their companion.

The event also reflects a broader appeal of Accra’s social scene, where food, entertainment and outdoor experiences increasingly provide opportunities for friends, couples and visitors to connect.

Ghana has a strong storytelling tradition, expressed through oral histories, music, theatre and film.

Although Movie by the Beach is not presented as a traditional cultural festival, its shared viewing experience offers another way for people to enjoy stories together in a relaxed communal setting.

Guests can expect a different movie each week, giving regular attendees a reason to return. The evening includes pizza, popcorn and a soft drink in the ticket price of GH₵250 per person.

Combined with ocean views and the sound of the waves, these familiar cinema treats take on a different appeal outdoors.

For international visitors, the event offers a relaxed addition to an Accra itinerary, particularly for those seeking an evening beyond the city’s restaurants and conventional nightlife.

Residents, meanwhile, can use it as an opportunity to catch up with friends, plan a date or enjoy a midweek escape without leaving the capital.

Whether you arrive with a group, a partner or on your own, the appeal lies in the combination of film, food and the sea.

With screenings every Tuesday at 8 p.m., Movie by the Beach invites Accra to trade the usual evening routine for a little cinematic magic under the stars.

The first sound may be the drums, deep and steady across Offinso in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, followed by the crack of muskets and the movement of a grand procession.

Chiefs emerge in ceremonial splendour as dancers move to the rhythm, turning the town into a living stage for history during the October celebration of Mmoa Ni Nko.

At the heart of the festival is the story of Nana Wiafe Akenten I, remembered for his bravery, loyalty and wisdom.

According to the tradition behind the festival, his service in warfare earned him a reward from the Ashanti King. Rather than choosing jewellery or other riches, Nana Wiafe Akenten I accepted land.

That decision gives Mmoa Ni Nko a meaning that reaches beyond the spectacle. Land was not simply a possession; it represented security, inheritance and a lasting foundation for generations.

His choice is therefore remembered as an example of foresight and an appreciation of what could benefit a community long after a moment of glory had passed.

A Celebration Written in Sound and Movement

The festival brings chiefs and community members together in a colourful public procession accompanied by traditional drumming, dancing and musket firing.

The atmosphere combines ceremony with celebration, allowing younger generations to encounter an important part of their heritage through sights and sounds rather than simply through stories.

Today, Mmoa Ni Nko remains a reminder of the values Offinso holds close: courage, loyalty, wisdom and responsibility to the generations that follow.

For visitors exploring Ghana’s cultural traditions, an October visit to Offinso offers something special—a chance to witness history being remembered not behind glass, but through music, movement, ceremony and community pride.
