How Damba festival started?

The Damba festival, celebrated primarily among the Dagbani-speaking people of northern Ghana, has its roots in the Islamic tradition, marking the end of Ramadan. It is believed to have been initiated by the early Muslim converts in the region as a way to express gratitude and foster community spirit following a month of fasting and prayer. Over time, the festival has evolved, incorporating local customs and practices, and now features vibrant cultural displays, traditional music, and communal feasting that strengthen social bonds within the community.
