As part of the annual Homowo festival celebrated by the Ga people, a twin festival dubbed: ‘Yeyeeye’ or “Akwele Suma” is held ahead of the main event.
The twins usually have special spiritual baths, dress in white apparel, and feast on mashed yams and eggs to symbolize the event.

The twin festival is celebrated at various quarters of the Ga Traditional Area before the final celebration is celebrated by the entire area.

Twins are revered among the Gas because they believe that twins are a blessing from the gods.
