It takes place in August every year and is celebrated by all the Ga clans. </p><p>The Adangbe people from Ada celebrate the <a href="/wiki/Asafotu" title="Asafotu">Asafotu</a> festival, which is also called 'Asafotufiam', an annual warrior's festival celebrated by Ada people from the last Thursday of July to the first weekend of August commemorates the victories of the warriors in battle and is a memorial for those who fell on the battlefield. To re-enact these historic events, the warriors dress in traditional battle dress and stage a mock battle. This is also a time for male rites of passage, when young men are introduced to warfare. The festival also coincides with the harvest cycle, when these special customs and ceremonies are performed. These include purification ceremonies. The celebration reaches its climax with a durbar of chiefs, a colourful procession of the Chiefs in palanquins with their retinue. They are accompanied by traditional military groups called 'Asafo Companies' amidst drumming, singing and dancing through the streets and on the durbar grounds. At the durbar, greetings are exchanged between the chiefs, libations are poured and declarations of allegiance are made. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_tourist_attractions">Other tourist attractions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Greater_Accra_Region&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Other tourist attractions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Fishing port at Jamestown</li> <li>Du Bois Memorial Center for Pan-African Culture</li> <li>George Padmore Research Library on African Affairs</li> <li>Agblobloshie Market</li> <li>Makola Market</li> <li>Trade Fair Center</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Governance">Governance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Greater_Accra_Region&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Governance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_(2012).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_%282012%29.svg/500px-Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_%282012%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="500" height="352" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_%282012%29.svg/750px-Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_%282012%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_%282012%29.svg/1000px-Districts_of_the_Greater_Accra_Region_%282012%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="744" data-file-height="524" /></a><figcaption>Districts of the Greater Accra Region</figcaption></figure><p>The political administration of the region is through the local government system.

Trading is generally in the hands of women, and a husband has no control over his wife's money. Succession to most offices held by women and inheritance of women's property are by matrilineal descent. Inheritance of other property and succession to male-held public offices are by patrilineal descent. Men of the lineage live together in a men's compound, while women, even after marriage, live with their mothers and children in a women's compound. Each Ga town has a number of different cults and many gods, and there are a number of annual town festivals. The Adangme people occupy the coastal area of Ghana from Le Kpone to Ada, on the Volta River and South Atlantic Ocean along the Gulf of Guinea and inland along the Volta River. The Adangme People include the Ada, Le Kpone, Krobo, Ningo, Osuduku, Prampram, and Shai, all speaking Adangbe of the Kwa branch of the Niger-Congo family of languages.
