HUNDREDS of persons flocked New Amsterdam’s main thoroughfare on Sunday morning to witness the highly anticipated Mashramani float parade, which was laced with infectious enthusiasm.

The streets came alive with colourful costumes, pulsating music and the irresistible aroma of Guyanese delicacies.

The Department of Public Information (DPI) caught up with several onlookers who did not hesitate to express their excitement.

As customary, the road parade commenced at Tacama Turn through the main road of the ancient town and culminated at the New Amsterdam Stelling Road.

This year’s celebration is themed, “celebrating our people and our prosperity.” (DPI)
