Saltpond Launches First Homecoming Festival to promote Unity and Development

The Mfantseman-Saltpond Development Alliance (MSDA) has launched its first Saltpond Homecoming with a call on all natives, particularly the youth, to unite for sustainable development.

The weeklong event, packed with activities, will conclude with a grand durbar on Saturday, August 30, 2025, under the theme “Reuniting Our Roots, Reimagining the Future.”

Activities will include a heritage tour, clean-up campaigns, youth competitions, a fancy dress carnival, food fairs, health screenings, and more.

The initiative aims to rebuild, connect, and rise together as youth with pride and courage for the benefit of their future and generations yet unborn.

SaltpondFest 2025 will feature a legacy project to provide a sustainable water system for the Saltpond Municipal Hospital.

According to the Founder and President of MSDA, Mr. Ernest De-Graft Egyir, the festival is not just a celebration but also an opportunity to reunite people at home and in the diaspora, promote tourism, showcase local businesses and young talents, and leave a lasting legacy for the community.

He stressed the importance of taking action as natives to move their heritage forward, noting that history alone cannot feed children, employ the youth, or solve the challenges facing the community.

The MSDA was established to empower the people of Mfantseman and Saltpond through cultural celebrations, civic unity, and sustainable development building a future grounded in identity, led by community, and inspired by progress.

The alliance was born from the vision that the future of Mfantseman should be shaped by its own people, rooted in identity, and driven by the belief in their ability to transform the municipality.
