In terms of post-event cleanliness, Mayor Mentore assured that the Solid Waste Department will be proactive in cleaning up after the celebrations.

The cleanup efforts will commence after the last float has passed, aiming to restore the city to its pristine state by the following morning.

The theme for the Mashramani Float Parade 2024, commemorating Guyana’s Republic Anniversary, is “Celebrating Our Peoples and Our Prosperity.”

As the nation gears up for this grand celebration, the provision of vending spots adds an extra dimension to the festivities, empowering local entrepreneurs and enhancing the overall experience for participants and spectators alike.
