THE highly-anticipated Guyana Rum Festival which was slated to be held this weekend, has been postponed.

This is according to the organisers who said that several challenges led to this decision.

The Rum Fest was supposed to be held on November 4 and 5, at the Everest Cricket Club as part of the Ministry of Tourism and the Guyana Tourism Authority’s tourism month activities. However, according to a social media post, because of several challenges concerning the execution of the event, it had to be postponed to 2024.

This event was proudly supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, Havana Club and 592 Tours, just to name a few.

Ticket holders and vendors are asked to contact the festival organisers for a complete refund of the monies paid.

Rum Fest was first introduced to the Guyanese public in February 2020, and was well received.
