THE Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) will host its first ever ‘Independence Brunch’ on May 26 at Parliament Gardens, opposite Public Buildings on High Street, Georgetown. The occasion will afford guests the opportunity to have a real Guyanese meal and also foster a sense of national pride among fellow Guyanese, according to GTA Communications Officer, Ramesh Sukhdeo.
He said the concept was brainstormed and decided upon since from all indications it has not been done before.
The buffet style service will include a variety of local dishes, such as bake and saltfish, ‘chunkay’ provisions and pepperpot and local fruit juices, among other delicacies.
Sukhdeo said there will be live entertainment as well, with steel pan music by the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
Tickets for this event cost $5,000 each and can be secured at the GTA Office, Sophia Exhibition Site, Greater Georgetown, or via telephone numbers 219-0094/96. Tickets will be sold also at the entrance to the venue.
