Preparations are advancing for the traditional flag raising ceremony to be held this year\u00a0at Fort Island.\u00a0At the same time, Guyanese across the country are encouraged to join in the celebration,\u00a0wherever they are, showcasing their love for country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister within the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports Steven Jacobs is encouraging more\u00a0Guyanese to proudly display their patriotism as the country celebrates its Diamond Jubilee.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Guyana, this is your moment, as we celebrate 60 years of Independence, let’s show the world\u00a0the pride, the strength and resilience of the Guyanese people. Put your golden arrow heads high, on your homes, on your businesses, on your cars, every\u00a0single year across our beautiful country.\u00a0You can even dress patriotic, take photos, post on Facebook before May 26.\u00a0Let every single street, every village, every community shine in our national colours. Let’s bring out the true Guyanese spirit,” he urged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, preparations are intensifying for Guyana’s highly anticipated national drone\u00a0show set for Independence Evening at the National Stadium, Providence.\u00a0Just recently, Culture, Youth and Sports Ministers Charles Ramson and Steven Jacobs conducted\u00a0a walkthrough of the venue alongside representatives of the joint services, technical teams and\u00a0stadium officials to ensure all systems are in place for the grand showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, which runs from 5 to 7 pm on May 26, is expected to transform the skies above\u00a0the stadium with breathtaking drone displays designed to tell the story of Guyana through\u00a0light, colour and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the scenes, preparations are also in full swing for the country’s major cultural\u00a0showcase at the flag-raising ceremony on Fort Island.\u00a0Rehearsals continue daily as creatives, performers, dancers, musicians and storytellers work tirelessly\u00a0to deliver a production worthy of Guyana’s historic milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production is not only aimed at entertaining audiences, but also creating opportunities\u00a0for local creatives to showcase their talent and contribute to a memorable national celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the countdown to independence continues, excitement is building for the remaining slate\u00a0of activities, including cultural performances, flag-raising ceremonies, community celebrations,\u00a0concerts, exhibitions and the national drone show, all aimed at commemorating Guyana’s\u00a0Diamond Jubilee in grand style.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
