Mr Eric Asante, the ‘Bonofie’s Communications Officer, announced that all was set for the celebration of the main festival, scheduled between August 4 and August 9, with pre-festival activities beginning from August 1 to August 3, 2025.
Diverse cultural performances, food bazaar and traditional rituals will feature in the fourth edition of the ‘Meko Bono’ festival of the chiefs, and people of the Bono Region, ‘Bonofie’, the event organiser has said.
The festival would be celebrated on the theme “from unity, heritage to prosperity” and to portray the rich and diverse culture and tradition of the chiefs and people of the ‘Bonos’.
Addressing a news conference at Odomase in the Sunyani West Municipality for the official launch of the festival, Mr Asante said Odomase would host the five-day event which would climax with a grand durbar of the chiefs and people of the region.
The festival has evolved into more than a cultural event, becoming a movement, he stated, saying since its inception it had served as a unifying force, bringing together chiefs and people spread across the Bono East and Bono Regions.
Other activities outlined for the celebration include an official opening session, cultural and traditional displays, food competitions, beauty pageant, clean-up exercises, gospel rock show, artists night, street carnival, health screening, cooking competition.
