This year’s edition of the festival is set to be a conduit to unite, revive and redevelop the once vibrant and culturally rich area.

The festival is not only a period of joy and merrymaking, but also brings Somé citizens together to deliberate on matters affecting the traditional area and how to develop and improve the socio-economic well-being of the people.

It will be climaxed with a grand durbar of chiefs, queen mothers and elders on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at Agbozume, the traditional capital.

The festival is being celebrated on the theme: “Uniting all of Somé for her total development.”
