PHAGWAH Festival has become a huge event on the national calendar as thousands of people converge at the Guyana National Stadium every year. Last year it was estimated that over 30,000 persons visited the Stadium for the event which featured a cultural show and phagwah fun for everyone.And the organiser, Inspire Inc, yesterday announced its grand plans for Phagwah Festival 2015. This annual event is planned once again for the National Stadium on March 6, 2015. Programme commences at 15:00 hrs.

“What is unique about this particular event hosted annually by Inspire Inc, is its convergence of all races and religions in Guyana in one grand family-based event,” said the organising company, headed by Mr. YogMahadeo.
Mr. Mahadeo noted that Inspire Inc takes pride in presenting the festival as a true festival of colours in which everyone belongs.
While there will be numerous fun-filled activities, water slides and sprinkler-fun, there will also be a wide menu of food available in the ground. As a non-alcoholic event, entire families come out and spend time together.
The cultural event has been supported by Terry Gajraj, a U.S.-based Guyanese international artiste who is well known for his performances on stage. This year, the show promises to be even bigger with more local and international stars accompanying Terry Gajraj on stage. Mahadeo said the Ishara Dance Troupe will also be a part of the programme with the famous ‘Shivanie and team’ creating dance routines to send powerful messages to the audience.
Even more special this year, he said, is the collaboration with a number of groups and causes. “Inspire maintains its collaboration with HUG (Hindus Unite for Guyana) and is now also collaborating with The Once Caribbean Voice and other social groups and businesses, this year plans to be bigger and more exciting,” he stated.
The buzz has started. Make your plans early to head down to the Stadium for Inspire Inc.’s Phagwah Festival.
