Georgetown: Local cuisine and music will be two of the many highlights for Guyana’s 50th Jubilee celebrations. This is according to Tourism Liaison and Logistics Officer, Catherine Martin.
Speaking with the Government Information Agency on plans the ministry is putting together for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations, Martin said, “We (will) have an area where you can come and taste the cuisine of all of our races. You can come there. So what we’re doing is on the Sunday, traditionally Guyanese don’t cook on a Sunday, so we want to encourage you in that day… don’t cook,” she said.
She explained that for those persons who would like to have a taste of the various local foods, they should attend the last day of the Golden Jubilee festivity during lunch and have something different.
Meanwhile, music lovers are being encouraged to attend the Next Gen Night and the Legends Night. The Next Gen Night will feature young artists, whereas, the Legends Night will showcase artists from the past. She stated that both young and old might actually like the songs they hear.
“That’s the two main components that I want to encourage people to look forward to during the 50th Jubilee festivity,” Martin said.
Guyana gained its independence on May 26, 1966. The 50th Jubilee celebrations will promote everything local.
