It is being organised under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) in collaboration with the various local assemblies in Kwahu East, West, and South and the Kwahu Traditional Authority from April 14 to 18, 2022.
Other activities earmarked for the festival include Hot Air Balloon, the Kwahu Marathon, a food Bazaar, Kwahu Dwaso, Pool Parties, Musical Concerts, Church Service, among other events.
The proposed fee for a paragliding flight is GH¢550, inclusive of an Antigen Test for passengers before they are allowed to fly.
A Kwahu Easter Guide which seeks to inform patrons and the general public about the various events and activities and other vital information about Kwahu Easter will be produced.
