Speaking during the festivities, Nana Yaa Kwei II urged service providers to maintain fair and reasonable prices, emphasising the need to preserve the joyful spirit of the annual celebration.
She noted that while the influx of visitors often leads to price hikes, the tradition of Easter in Kwahu should remain inclusive and enjoyable for all.

Despite reports of some vendors increasing prices, many attendees said they were enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
