The Ngmayem Festival is a significant cultural celebration among the Shai people of Dodowa in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. This vibrant annual festival is a vital part of Shai heritage, honoring historical traditions and agricultural practices. Rooted in the agricultural practices of the Shai people, where millet was traditionally a staple crop, the festival marks the end of the millet harvest and serves as a time of thanksgiving and community gathering to honor ancestors and gods for a bountiful harvest.
The Shai Traditional Council has launched the 2025 edition of the Ngmayem (Millet) Festival at Dodowa in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region, calling for environmental protection, unity, and respect for tradition.
