There will be live music provided by several Organists and Steel band. Displays will be done by Florists, Church Groups, Decorators, the Horticultural Society of Guyana, the Horticultural Society of Trinidad and the Orchid Society of Trinidad. Visitors will be provided with guide sheets indicating the names of the floral arrangers as over twenty areas of the Cathedral will be decorated.
