2019 Christmas in Takoardi: Masquerade carnival records unprecedented numbers during yuletide

CHRISTMAS IN TAKORADI

It is a region many have linked with Christmas festivities, key among which is the masquerade festival.

I am talking about the Western region and specifically Takoradi.

Well, what started several decades ago as the fancy dress festival, which sees hundreds of locals spotting colorful costumes and masks parading the streets during Christmas has evolved into one big celebration attracting people from far and near.

Komla Adom and Mapitso Sebedi first time visitors in Takoradi report the numbers were unprecedented.
