The maiden edition of TINAFEST 2025 has officially kicked off, igniting a week-long celebration that promises to leave an indelible mark on Agona West. The vibrant festivities kicked off with a grand awareness float that wound its way through communities, culminating in a dazzling spectacle at Nyakrom, where the theme “God of Possibilities” took center stage.
Delivering the keynote address, Hon. Ernestina Ofori Dangbey, Member of Parliament for Agona West, underscored the festival’s dual purpose: to showcase the district’s rich cultural heritage and to galvanize resources for a noble cause – bolstering healthcare delivery in the constituency. “TINAFEST is more than a celebration of our culture and talents,” she declared. “It is a deliberate effort to mobilize resources to strengthen healthcare delivery in Agona West.”
The Health Development Fund, a flagship initiative of the festival, aims to revamp health infrastructure, procure vital medical equipment, and provide critical support for emergency health interventions targeting the most vulnerable populations.
Hon. Dangbey’s impassioned plea resonated with the assembled throng, comprising chiefs, traders, youths, and stakeholders, who converged to lend their voices and support to the cause.
The festival’s jam-packed calendar features a medley of events, including heart-stopping sports competitions, dazzling cultural displays, a pulse-pounding marathon, a colorful fancy dress festival, the Agona West Most Beautiful pageant, a soul-stirring gospel night, and the grand Durbar and Fundraising extravaganza scheduled for December 27th, 2025, at the Swedru Main Lorry Station.
Gleefully, as the people of Agona West and friends rally behind TINAFEST 2025, the clarion call is clear: unite for a healthcare revolution, harness the power of possibility, and script a brighter future for the constituency. The time is now; the cause is just. Join the movement.
