The Tourism Ministry is taking the Mashramani Celebrations up a notch by hosting a Pre Mash Street Jam -“Masharama” on Friday, February 22nd, 2013.
Alluding to the significance of hosting the street jam, Minister in charge of the sector, Irfaan Ali, explained that the event was conceptualized as part of the plan to attract more persons for the upcoming Mashramani celebrations and to magnify the significance of the occasion.
With the overall aim of making this year’s event an even more exciting and memorable one, the Ministry is currently finalizing arrangements to host a Brazilian Samba Band, slated to rouse revelers with live stage performances on the eve of Mashramani.
This massive ‘street fete’ will be staged in the vicinity of the Housing Ministry, on Brickdam, and will also include performances from Soca Monarch Finalists, as they prepare the masses to usher in the 43rd Republic Anniversary the following day. Spectators will also get a sneak peek of popular Band Costumes.
On the big day, the Ministry will then lead a parade of 100 strong to compete in the medium category float competition, this will be followed by the Brazilian Samba Group with an anticipated 1000 party followers accompanying them to the National Park.
According to Minister Ali, the Ministry’s plans for this year’s Mashramani Celebrations are centered on meeting the needs of all visitors, particularly those from neighbouring countries and exposing visitors to Guyana’s diverse culture.
“This will be utilized as the vehicle through which we can attract an average of 400 tourists.  We are working with the state of Roraima in Brazil and tourism agencies within the State to promote and sell packages,” Ali explained.
Mashramani 2013 will be celebrated under the theme ‘Reflecting Creativity, Embracing Diversity’.
