Guyanese turned out in droves in bright sunshine at the National Park in Georgetown yesterday as the country celebrated the 185th anniversary of emancipation from slavery.

The event, which was hosted by the African Cultural and Development Association (ACDA), provided Afro-Guyanese the opportunity to showcase their businesses. Stabroek News spoke to a few of the exhibitors.
