The Teshie people are well known for their no non-sense attitude and yet hospitable to all race and back ground.

 

The best part of the year to be at Teshie will be in August when the people celebrate their annual Homowo festival, it is colorful, enchanting and fun; you could almost walk in to any house and get served food.

 

It is also a fishing community in the south part of the sub of Teshie most people born from that part are more likely to choose fishing as their career while in the north part you see middle class.
