Fameye to headline December in Juaben homecoming festival

Ghanaian highlife and afrobeats musician Fameye has been named as the headline act for the upcoming "December in Juaben" homecoming festival. Scheduled to take place from December 24 to 27, the annual event is organized by the Richmond Amoateng Foundation with the primary aim of reconnecting the local community and those in the diaspora. The festival will be held under the theme, "Reconnecting Roots, Celebrating Heritage & Building Juabenman Together," serving as a platform for both cultural celebration and social cohesion.

Fameye is set to take the stage on December 26 at the Adu Boaheng Park, where he will lead a lineup of various artists to entertain residents and visitors. His performance is expected to be a major highlight of the four-day celebration, which seeks to promote Juaben as a premier cultural destination within the region. The organizers have designed the musical showcase to complement the traditional elements of the homecoming, blending contemporary entertainment with heritage-focused activities to appeal to a wide demographic.

Beyond the headline concert, the festival features a diverse itinerary including a welcome gathering for returnees, a dedicated students’ party, and a competitive football gala. Physical wellness is also prioritized through a scheduled health walk intended to engage all age groups in the community. The festivities are expected to draw significant attention from local leaders and dignitaries, culminating in a prestigious "Dinner with Daasebre," which emphasizes the active involvement of traditional leadership in the town’s development initiatives.

The Richmond Amoateng Foundation intends for the festival to be a catalyst for strengthening community identity and fostering long-term development. By creating an annual point of return for the people of Juaben, the event aims to build lasting connections that contribute to the socio-economic growth of the area. As preparations continue for the December 2026 edition, the festival is positioned to be a central fixture in the local holiday calendar, reinforcing Juaben's status as a hub for cultural tourism.
