It was a night filled with excitement and interesting activities for patrons who thronged Alphabet City Estate for this year’s End of Year Party which took place on Saturday, December 16 at Sakumono.
Patrons were treated to undiluted Ghanaian music from the High School Band coupled with food, drinks and giveaways.
The epic moment was when Ghanaian highlife dynamo, Kwabena Kwabena stormed the stage with his silky voice dishing out hit after hit to the audience.
As though that was not enough, one of Ghana’s decorated rappers, Okyeame Kwame took his turn with some stupendous display on the night as he kept the audience on their feet throughout his performance.
With songs from back in the days to present hits, The Rap Dacta, incredibly thrilled everyone at the event.
Surprisingly patrons who entered the raffle on the night received awesome souvenirs from Waylead Ghana, owners of Alphabet City.
Addressing the gathering, the Managing Director of Waylead Ghana, Keegan Wang expressed appreciation to all who took time out of their busy schedules to be at the programme.
Mr.Wang said their presence made the event successful and further told their story on how their real estate started in some areas in Accra.
He also touched on how Alphabet City’s new apartment will provide over 800 homes for Ghanaians.
Mr.Wang added that over the years, they have encountered some challenges, however, with the support of various stakeholders they keep overcoming them.
As part of the End of Year Party, there was an Open House session where patrons were allowed into the new apartments to acquaint themselves with the classic furnishing and comfortable rooms up for sale.
The Open House is still open for people to make their way there, and with the mention of Okyeame Kwame, any buyer is entitled to a discount.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
