The Main Street area is to be transformed into a Christmas Village, starting Friday, and replacing the annual ‘Big Lime’.
According to the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), the Christmas Village will become an annual feature. The event is set to begin Friday and end Tuesday night…Christmas Eve.
GTA said that the area will be transformed into a “dazzling wonderland set aglow in a unique setting of holiday scenes meshed with festive foods and a wide array of local entertainment”.
According to the organizers, this Ministry of Tourism activity, which stems from the traditional ‘Main Big Lime’, will be the family event of the year. Activities will take place from 14:00hrs to 22:00hrs daily.
Following the grand launch on Friday at 17:30hrs in front of the Courts, Main Street Branch, the Main Street Avenue – from Quamina to Middle Streets – will be transformed to include live entertainment of jazz, steel pan and caroling.
Several charities will also be using the events to raise funds and the proceeds from the sale of Christmas goodies will go towards their charities of choice.
In addition, the sponsors of the event, including Courts, Banks DIH, DDL, GT&T and Digicel will be launching several promotions and giveaways to encourage more persons to come to the village
It was stated that visitors gathering to commemorate and share the Christmas Village spirit can rest assured of safe and secure paid parking at a facility nearby.
The Ministry is also advising that no unauthorized vending will be allowed in the vicinity of the Christmas Village during this period as this will affect the smooth flow of traffic.
