Happy Man Bitters – Miss Samanpiid is a highlight of the Samanpiid Festival, an annual event celebrated by the Kusaasi people in the Kusaug Traditional Area of Ghana’s Upper East Region. The festival, which typically takes place in November or December, is a time of thanksgiving to God and ancestral spirits for blessings and a successful farming season.
Beyond the beauty pageant, the festival is an avenue for discussing developmental issues, reflecting on achievements, and fostering unity among the Kusaasi people. It attracts chiefs, government officials, MPs, and people from across the country and abroad, serving as a vibrant celebration of history, culture, and tradition.
Miss Samanpiid continues to play a vital role in educating, informing, and entertaining, particularly among the youth, while promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Kusaasi people.
