The event saw fantastic performances from artistes such as Edem, SistaAfia, Epixode, and Strongman Burner.

“Aside from these main artistes, Riverfest also believes in supporting up-and-coming artistes to showcase their talent. The event also witnessed live performances from 13 artistes,” the organiser, Nana Yaw Manteaw said.

There was canoe competition with winners winning cash prizes and items from sponsors; NLA, Ebony Condoms and Twellieum Company Ltd.

“Riverfest was an amazing event. With its talented lineup of DJs, special activities, and fun atmosphere, it was an event to remember,” he said.

Nana Yaw Manteaw added, “Our objective for organising the event at the riverside at Ada was to educate and sensitise the people of Ada of the need to preserve the river and its banks and provide safety awareness to users of the river whilst enjoying the environment. We also wanted to drive the December in Ghana traffic outside Accra to another beautiful town. These objectives were highly met.”
