Big Ada
The Ada people first migrated from Ancient Egypt, then to Nigeria in a town called Ile-Ife, through Benin among the Fon People then to Togo, and finally to Big Ada in the Greater Accra Region (present day Ghana).Ada's decline started with the construction of the harbor sea port in Takoradi that made the transport on the Volta River unnecessary.Ada is the venue of the well-known, annual Asafotufiami festival that takes place starting from the first Thursday in the first week of August and is one of the biggest events in the district.The event celebrates ancient wars(firing of musketry) and draws a big crowd of people to Ada.The following days are filled with beach parties, boat races, river excursions and football matches.
