The Akwasidae Festival is one of the most important celebrations of the Asante people. The Akwasidae festival is held every six weeks in accordance with the Akan traditional calendar, which is based on a cycle of nine months in a year, with each month being forty-two days. The last Akwasidae festival of the year is set aside for the celebration of Adae Kese. The Adae Kese celebration is a magnified form of the Akwasidae festival.

The Akwasidae festival is a continuous demonstration of faith in the vison and heritage of the Asante Kingdom, which has existed since the introduction of the Golden Stool in 1700.

The festival commemorates and reinforces the independence of the Asante people and is an occasion for sub-chiefs and all of the Asante to re-affirm their loyalty to the King (Asantehene).
