Easter will be celebrated by Christians all around the world starting tomorrow, Good Friday. This holiday honors the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, whose blood sacrifice atoned for the world’s sins.
Easter is observed in either March or April; the exact date varies every year and often falls between March 22 and April 25.
Easter honors Jesus Christ’s resurrection, which occurred three days after his crucifixion and represents the core of the Christian faith as well as his triumph over sin and death. It is frequently observed on Resurrection Sunday and represents salvation, hope, and the promise of eternal life.
Since the week before the major event is known as Holy Week, some churches have already begun fasting, prayer, and conventions in order to adequately and spiritually prepare for the celebration.
Additionally, it’s a huge homecoming season during which some relatives gather to share meals, make amends, and donate to the less fortunate. Others plan picnics and fun fairs, particularly on Easter Monday, among other engaging events.
Up until recently, the Kwahu Easter Festival, a significant Ghanaian tourism event, was synonymous with Easter.
The 2026 Kwahu Easter Festival, which takes place from April 3–6, 2026, is aggressively marketed as Ghana’s top travel destination. Massive events including concerts, street carnivals, and paragliding are highlighted in the campaign.
The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) is in charge of the marketing, which emphasizes adventure travel, cultural exhibits, and customary celebrations. Street carnivals at Adom Park (Obomeng) and prominent publicity for the Paragliding Festival at Odweanoma Mountain are major attractions.
Media partners and influencer involvement are driving extensive coverage, with a focus on events such as the Mega Street Bash. Activations by large breweries and events held by the Rock City Hotel are examples of significant sponsorship.
Kwahu is positioned as the leading destination for the 2026 Easter celebrations thanks to the publicity, which targets both domestic and foreign travelers.
Promising a lively, high-energy weekend on the Kwahu Ridge, the advertising highlights an experience powered by tradition and entertainment.
The Spectator hopes that Easter will be celebrated peacefully this year and that its spiritual value will be respected.
Have a moderate, peaceful, and harmonious Easter
Dear Editor,
I am alarmed by the increasing rate of plastic waste in our communities.
Bottles, sachet water wrappers and food containers have become a common sight on our streets, markets and in our drainage system. This is gradually turning into an environmental and public health risk.
Improper disposal of plastic waste blocks the drains, causing flooding during rainy season and creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
It also pollutes the rivers, lakes and sea, threatening aquatic life and affecting the livelihood of many people especially fishermen.
Although government agencies, environmental organisations and community groups have organised a clean-up exercises, the menace remains a major headache for bodies responsible in tackling the sanitation problems.
There is, therefore, an urgent need for strict enforcement of the sanitation laws, increased investment in recycling facilities and sustained public education on waste management.
Every citizen has a role to play by disposing off waste responsibly, reducing the use of single use plastics and participating in community clean-up exercise.
Protecting the environment is not just a responsibility for the government. It is one for every citizen and our collective actions today will determine the quality life for the future or the next generation.
As a concerned citizen, I hope this issue receive the immediate attention it deserves before plastic waste pollution causes even greater damage to our communities.
