Despite the intermittent rain, thousands of Guyanese from all walks of life flooded the streets of Georgetown yesterday with a sea of colours to witness this year’s Mashramani float parade. This yearly celebration had a two-year hiatus due to the restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Revellers traversed the streets and later tramped into the National Park as a part of Guyana’s 53rd Republic Anniversary, which was hosted under the theme “Mixing and Mashing as One Guyana.” Not only did the public come out in large numbers but both the private and public sectors played their part with a total of 22 floats participating in this year’s festivities.
