USA Atebubufoɔhene & Hemaa to be outdoor at Atebubu’s Edition of Meko Bono launch.
The upcoming launch of the 5th edition of the Meko Bono Festival in Atebubu, Bono-East Region, Ghana, is set to be a momentous occasion. Not only will this event mark the official unveiling of the festival, but it will also see the outdooring of the USA Atebubu Chief and Queen Mother.
The Meko Bono Festival via Bono Fie has gained widespread acclaim for its promotion of Bono culture and history, as well as its role in fostering unity among the various kingdoms in Bono. Last year, the festival was recognized with an award for its contributions to the Bono communities.
In order to involve the diaspora and raise funds for the upcoming festival in Atebubu, it has been decided to hold an official launch event in New York at the Prospect Plaza Banquet Hall on April 18, 2026. This event will serve as a platform to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Bono people and to celebrate the spirit of unity and community that the festival embodies.
As part of the festivities, the Atebubu Traditional Council will be outdooring the USA Atebubuhene, Nana Owusu Sekyere Peprah, and Atebubuhemaa, Nana Akosua Bafowaa Akrapim. These traditional representatives will play a key role in promoting the values and traditions of the Atebubu community in the diaspora.
Under the leadership of HRM Ohempon Dr. Yeboah Asiamah, the Atebubu Traditional Council is extending a warm invitation to all to attend this special event. It promises to be a memorable occasion filled with music, dance, and cultural performances that will showcase the vibrant spirit of the Bono people.
The main event of Meko Bono Festival in Atebubu in August, 2026 will be a moment of pride and celebration for Atebubu, Bono community. It is an opportunity to come together, celebrate our heritage, and strengthen the bonds that unite us as Bono people.
