The rich history of the town as recounted above makes it a mine of Ashanti culture, traditions and customs as every Ashanti practice like marriage, birth, funerals, cultural events, etc can be observed in the town. Today, the town organizes several events throughout the year with the most notable one being Easter Festivities during the month of April. On the Friday preceding Easter, a gala soccer match is played between the local team and visiting teams from the neighboring towns. Then on Saturday, a Record Dance is organized for the youth and on Sunday, the festivities end with Easter Harvest at the local churches to raise funds for development activities.
