3 min read
Accra was abuzz all over this Saturday as it witnessed the one-of-a-kind 12-hour celebration with the Transit: Music and Wellness Festival, where music and dance lovers, wellness enthusiasts, and partygoers came together for an experience of a lifetime, it was much more than just a music festival-it was a journey of high-energy DJ sets, wellness activities meant to rejuvenate every patron, and a vibe which left everybody refreshed and revitalized in every way.
Assi Stretch
Kicking off the festival on a serene note, with an hour-long yoga session led by Assi, a yoga instructor, festivalgoers unrolled their mats and tuned into their breath, moving through a series of flowing postures and deep stretches. The soothing voice and expert guidance of Assi created a room of calm and connection, centering participants while leading into a great day ahead.
Yoga at Transit was the perfect opening for this festival at the Sandbox Beach Club. “It contained just enough relaxation and energy, and it just felt amazing to practice outside in such a lively space, said Elorm.” With soft Afrobeat music playing in the background, the session ended in a guided meditation where everyone could center themselves before jumping into their next festival endeavors.
Beats by DJs on rotation: Soundtrack to an Epic Day
As the sun climbed higher, the pace changed and the festival’s signature beats took center stage. Several crowd pleasing DJs were on rotation delivering eclectic sets of Afrohouse, Amapiano, Afrobeats and highlife tunes, they included Ahnansi, Araba, Badgalbob, Bbrave, Malek and Que. In attendance was a guest set from The Hause a DJ duo from Nigeria as well as a set from Baaba. The energy was palpable, infectious even, as the dance floor filled up and they churned out one seamless track after another that kept revellers moving. “DJs are fantastic!” said a festival attendee named Kwesi. “i danced non-stop! It was the perfect way to get the day going after such a peaceful yoga session.”
In Came Local Dimension
Local Dimension as the name suggest is a set musicians that play various drums, xylophone etc. led by Aaron Bebe they brought to life tunes making revellers move back and forth to the dance floor.
Massage and Relaxation Bay: A Slice of Paradise
While music blared through festival grounds, there was even a tranquil retreat for over-stimulated festies. The Massage and Relaxation Bay, tucked away in the shade at the side of the venue, offered professional massage therapy sessions. Expert masseuses worked their magic to melt away tension and soreness from hours of dancing.
On the different side, was a silent area for meditation and relaxation-a cool haven from the energy-laden revelry outside. It was a sanctuary where guests could recharge before going out again and enjoying the music. This is an area where wellness isn’t a fad but part of the experience that impresses on people why self-care matters.
The setting sun did not diminish the electric nature of the festival. Dancing, mingling, and just enjoying the beautiful blend of music, wellness, and community spirit so wonderfully put together by Transit-the evening’s peak was a last dance session under the stars, just pure joy and what the festival was about.
A Day to Remember
Transit: Music and Wellness Festival was more than just an event—it was a movement, a celebration of life, music, and the importance of taking time for ourselves. From Asi’s calming yoga session to DJs unforgettable beats, and the tranquil oasis of the Massage and Relaxation, the festival offered something for everyone.
If you missed it this time around, don’t fret. Organizers told Omega TV UK that it plans have the festival monthly. Until then, festival-goers will be reminiscing about the beats, the relaxation, and the unbeatable vibe and event to be part while in Accra, Ghana.
