The Football competition kicks off on March 24 and concludes on March 28; where patrons will witness teams, drawn from a nationwide pool, compete for top honours.
The Gospel Concert and International Artiste’s Mega Concert is set for the March 29 and 30, respectively and promises a variety of lyrical pleasures for its attendees.
For the pageant, eight (8) stunning young beauties from all over across Guyana will take to the stage on the March 31 as they vie for the crown in the oldest pageant in Guyana’s history.
The water sports, both swimming and speed boat racing, will begin on March 31, and continue to April 1st – two days that will be filled with events that will be exciting and highly competitive. The activities will all boil down to the Beach Throttle Down Party which will again, will see multiple entertainment, capping a fun-filled week.
In collaboration with the D&C Promotions, the Bartica Regatta Committee has also teamed up with Fashion Queen Sonia Noel, a Bartican herself. Noel will be spearheading the Miss Regatta Pageant, as well as lending her expertise in the areas of Event Management and Planning. The committee will also be launching a Magazine as a hallmark to its ongoing success.
