Apr 30, 2014 News

 
The highly anticipated ‘Guyana Festival’ will be launched on Friday, May 2, at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC) at 17:00h.
The Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) has promised a cultural extravaganza for attendees and participants of the inaugural event, which is scheduled to be staged from August 8- 10, at the National Stadium, Providence.
According to the GTA, the ‘Sound, Soul and Taste’ of Guyana will be presented to the world through a spectacular display of art, craft, dance, drama, music and cuisine.
The Ministry of Tourism is anticipating that thousands will converge at the venue to indulge in the treats available. The atmosphere will be transformed into a cultural spectacle.
“For the very first time, the fusion of the six different cultures that make up the Guyanese tapestry will be brought together reflecting a true melting pot that reflects the Guyanese identity,” the GTA press statement read.
It added, “Guyana is known the world over for its warmth and the hospitality of its people and it is also recognized that the underlying beauty in the destination is reflected in the people and the depictions of their cultural differences; now for the very first time the opportunity to shine is here, the Guyana Festival…reflecting what it means to be truly Guyanese.”
