FOR THE FIRST TIME, AKWASIDAE IS GOING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇸
A tradition deeply rooted in the Asante Kingdom is crossing the Atlantic.
On 30 August 2026, Akwasidae Kesie will be held at Bowie State University in Maryland, marking the first time this major Asante traditional celebration is being taken to the United States.
For many people in the Ghanaian and African diaspora, this will be more than an event to attend. It is an opportunity to see a significant part of Asante cultural life presented on American soil, with its royal traditions, regalia, music, ceremony and gathering of people connected to Ghana and its heritage.
And if you are travelling from Ghana, there is an opportunity to make the journey bigger.
Millennium Excellence Week America 2026 runs from 27 to 30 August, bringing together:
27-28 August
Africa Business Investment Summit
MGM National Harbor, Oxon Hill, Maryland
29 August
Millennium Excellence Awards / Gala
JW Marriott, Washington, DC
30 August
Akwasidae Kesie
Bowie State University, Maryland
FREE ENTRY
