Oguaa Fetu Afahye is an annual festival celebrated on the first Saturday of September by the people and Chiefs of Oguaa Traditional Area (Cape Coast) in the Central Region of Ghana. Background According to tradition, a plague once pillaged the Oguaa community (Cape Coast). Such was the devastating effect of the plague that the people called on their gods before the plague stopped and the land was cleansed.  The word fetu is a contraction of ‘efin tu’ in the local dialect which means clearing the dirt. Oguaa Fetu Afahye festival is, therefore, a commemoration of that purification which saved the land from the plague and a show of gratitude to the 77 gods of the Oguaa Traditional Area.
