Organizers have also prioritized health and wellness, with the Aerobics and Health Screening on Easter Saturday. Residents are encouraged to participate and make their well-being a part of the Easter celebration. Additionally, the Clean-Up Exercise scheduled for April 12 underlines the importance of community hygiene and environmental care—making the festival not just fun, but socially responsible.
Meanwhile, the Yesu Asor Market, which runs over three days, presents a fantastic opportunity for local vendors and artisans to showcase their products and earn income during the festive season. This aligns with the vision of empowering small businesses and reinforcing community support systems.
As the festival draws thousands from Sekondi and beyond, safety and order are a top priority. With support from the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly, local security, health officials, and volunteers will be on hand to ensure all activities run smoothly.
Sekondi Yesu Asor 2025 is more than an event—it is a declaration of cultural pride, spiritual unity, and youthful vibrancy. It invites everyone—residents, returnees, tourists, and stakeholders—to join in a celebration that honors both the sacred and the social aspects of Easter.
