GENERAL Manager of Cricket Carnival, Abigail Mohabir said all of the Cricket Carnival activities have so far been successful, with the highly-anticipated Super Concert and the Cricket Carnival Road Parade planned for this weekend.
She was at the time giving the Department of Public Information (DPI) an update on the Road Parade, which will be held on Monday, September 25 at 13:00hrs.
“It will be held on the 25th of September; assembly time at 5pm,” she said. “We have five bands on board; The Pulse Warrior, Amazonia Fantasy Band, HJ Boom Nation, West Siderz Entertainment Heritage Band, and Decoded Carnival.”
The route will be the same as last year, with bands assembling on Main Street and heading towards the roundabout at the Kitty Seawall. “The bands will head off east on Church Street, north into Irving Street, and they will continue around Chandisingh Road, and close at the roundabout at the seawall,” Mohabir stated.
To get registered on one of the bands, persons can visit the Cricket Carnival Website and social media pages for more information.
“I would encourage persons to come out with your family and your friends, and experience what another year of Guyana Carnival would be like,” Mohabir added.
This year’s cricket carnival season featured several concerts, among them the Regional Food Festival and Pan on the Avenue.
This year, too, Guyana is expecting to have a record number of visitors, peaking at this time as the country hosts the Playoffs, Semi-Final and Finals of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and the Cricket Carnival. (DPI)
