Akwasidae Festival
The Akwasidae Festival (alternate, Akwasiadae) is celebrated by the Ashanti people and chiefs in Ashanti,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/tourism/festivals.php )〕 as well as the Ashanti diaspora. The festival is celebrated on a Sunday, once every six weeks.〔 The Akwasidae Festival is next only in importance to the National Day celebrations.
==Observance==
The Akan annual calendar is divided into nine parts, each lasting approximately six weeks but varying between 40–42 days in a period; the celebration of this period is called the Adae Festival. The Adae Festival has two celebration days: the Akwasidae Festival is celebrated on the final Sunday of the period, while the Awukudae Festival is celebrated on a Wednesday within the period. The Friday preceding 10 days to the Akwasidae is called the ''Fofie'' (meaning a ritual Friday). As the festival is always held on Sundays (''Twi'' in Kwasidae), its recurrence could be after 40 or 42 days in accordance with the official Calendar of Ashanti. During the last Akwasidae of the year, which coincides with the Adae Kese Festival, special attention is given to make food offerings and donations for helping people. The festivals of Adae are not interchangeable as they were fixed from ancient times.
