The Gateway to Guyana’s mystical interior will be transformed into a family oriented and “fun-only” territory for nine days.
The Bartica Regatta Racers Club in association with Hopkinson’s Mining will be hosting a summer splash event that promises to be nothing but absolute excitement for families.
Promoters have said that they are going above and beyond to deliver a power packed event never witnessed before in the town. The event will be staged from July 19 to July 27 in Bartica that is considered the launching pad for those seeking a job in the mining field.
On July 19, an all white Soca affair will attract local entertainers such as Kwesi Ace and Carlvin Burnett who will be taking the musical affair to another level. All the soca addicts and ladies who simply can’t resist showing off that “monster wine” must ensure that they practise because this electrifying occasion is just a few days away.
The following day will see an event just for families. Parents must be sure to bring their children to visit their favourite cartoon characters at the fun park. Also on display will be professional bike jumpers from the United States to perform at the Bartica Community Centre. This event starts at 1 pm.
In keeping with the thrill of the FIFA World Cup Games, the Bartica Regatta summer splash will also be featuring three days of exciting football games with teams from Venezuela, Georgetown, West Demerara and, of course Bartica.
On July 25, at Smartt’s Residence, on First Avenue, Bartica, the ultimate Karaoke showdown is expected to take place. Judges will be faced with the task of selecting the Karaoke King and Queen. Surely, this day will not only unveil a lot of hidden talents but more than likely give a few laughs as well.
A Regatta road jam and a Regatta race, featuring 15 power boats in five categories including jet skiing will be part of the activities.
This event, which has a history in the small town, is always a magnificent and thrilling experience.
Since its introduction in 1947, the event has grown and matured into an Annual Calendar Event which attracts both regional and International visitors.
But the real summer splash event takes place on July 27 at the Bartica Community centre ground at 8pm.
RDX will be the headlining act for the concert and there will some showdowns between the undercover dancehall queens of Bartica and Georgetown.
This show is guaranteed to be a sizzling one. So ensure you walk with your cameras to capture the experience that promises to be an unforgettable one and arm yourself with all the protective gear you might need, because this summer splash event may have its family events. This concert is definitely going to be wicked, immensely entertaining and wild. See you there.
