Yam Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yam Festival is popular holiday in Ghana and Nigeria, usually held in the beginning of August at the end of the rainy season. It is named after yams, the most common food in many African countries. They are the first crops of the season to be harvested. People offer yams to gods and ancestors before distributing them to the villagers to supposedly give thanks to the spirits above them. lala
