The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha (GHDS) is inviting the public to attend the 45th running of its annual Diwali Motorcade to be held on Saturday October 26th.
According to a GHDS release, over 30 floats from around the country are expected to participate in this year’s motorcade. The procession will be accompanied by bhajans and tassa and the illuminations and depictions related to the festival of Diwali. The GHDS describes it as “breathtaking to behold. It will definitely be a celebration of Guyanese creativity.”
The Sabha advises persons to line the route, especially the seawalls, by 6:00pm in order to view the entire parade. Those desirous of an up-close view of this year’s floats can visit the starting point – the Shri Krishna Mandir, Campbellville at 6:00pm before the floats leave at 6:45pm. The motorcade will make its way along Sandy Babb Street, Kitty into Vlissengen Road and along the Seawall/ Rupert Craig Highway to LBI Community Centre Ground.
