In celebration of its 125th anniversary, a grand Family Fun Day with an after party has been organized for today at Mocha’s Community Centre Ground.
This is the East Bank Demerara community’s 5th annual production. Compared to last year’s event, residents noted, this year’s promises to be bigger and better with more novelty attractions and games. There will be a dominoes competition with a $600,000 cash prize and a peewee football competition offering a trophy and medals up for grabs.
Mocha is situated a little over two miles from the East Bank Demerara highway, between Providence and Herstelling. Somewhat isolated from the rest of the East Bank, it was in earlier times surrounded by the sugarcane fields, but through the ongoing housing development the village is becoming a bit more connected.
