ABSTRACT
The objective of this study is to investigate and examine the historical background of masquerading in Winneba and from this, find out the traditional beliefs and practices associated with masquerading and the motivation to observe the masquerading event. Also the Socio-economic significance of masquerading was looked at extensively as various questions were put to those who engage in economic activities in and around the park where the masquerading event takes place. Data was also collected from the Federation, some members and leaders of the various groups and some key informant. Analysis was made of the interviews and the conversation that took place between the researcher and the participants. The findings proved there were beliefs and practices associated with the culture and pointed to the fact that the masquerade was an European culture. Based on this recommendations were made to help sustain the culture. This research is therefore to help attract and promote both local and foreign tourism in the Effutu traditional area, and thereby help create income for the socio-economic development of the people of Winneba and Ghana as a whole.
