The annual Essequibo Night Exhibition and Fair provides a stage for showcasing local skills and products. This year, the event is scheduled for Oct 18-19 at the Anna Regina Community Centre ground.
A press release from the Region Two administration said preparations have begun and the event is expected to attract thousands to the commercial centre of Anna Regina.
The event, which was started several years ago by the late Minister of Agriculture Satyadeow Sawh, and held under the theme: “Made in Guyana, Grown in Guyana”, focuses on Guyana’s produce and products.
Over the years, the event has grown tremendously, and attracts more than 15,000 persons each night. Many local manufacturers and farmers from across Region Two, along with government ministries and agencies, erect booths to showcase local products and services.
Many anticipate the festivities of Essequibo Night as a treat and celebration after the harvest of the rice crop. The activity is organized by the Region Two administration with support from the Ministry of Agriculture, New Guyana Marketing Corporation and the private sector.
