The festival is celebrated in two parts: The Ohumkan and the Ohumkyire. The Ohumkan which happens to be the major event is celebrated throughout the week to which the ban on the noise making had been lifted particularly on Tuesday. Which usually occurs during the month of October. Prior to it celebration, a two week ban on noise-making is imposed on all the communities under the traditional jurisdiction.
The Ohum festival is celebrated with the chief and people of Akyem Tafo and its environment visiting the Gyempremo shrine to perform rituals and make sacrifices to the deity.

During the festival the descendants pledge to continue the tradition, to keep Okyeman strong and free with peace and prosperity. They then pledge allegiance to their King (Okyehene) and their sub-chiefs and elders for their leadership and guidance. Legend has it that any person who trips and falls on the return journey from the Gyempremo shrine will not live to see the new year. On the Ohum Tuesday, it is forbidden to make any noise including the pounding of fufu, the main staple diet of the Akan people till dusk.
To promote this festival and make it attractive to tourists worldwide, the Abuakwa North Municipal Assembly led by the Hon. Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Alhaji Umar Babs Bodinga did not only participate in the events but also supported Nananom with a number of items and cash donations.
