Caribbean fun at the Guyana Carnival in capital Georgetown. Now
in its second year, this event is already a must. Hit the road with the
amazingly costumed, feather-clad performers and release your inner
dancer. With DJs and musicians on hand to provide the soundtrack,
and local eats to provide the fuel, all you need is a little stamina to
join one of the region’s most exciting new parties.

WHITSUNTIDEREGGATTA

Enjoy superb sailing over the Whitsun weekend at

one of the region’s greatest maritime festivals. The

round-the-island race is always hugely popular, but

look out, too, for open boat races and the legendary

welcome party on day one. The event is about much

more than merely competing to see who’s fastest;

the social side is just as important, with old friends

and new meeting up to share the experience. Cultural

events are also promised on Petit Martinique –

expect all of the 900-strong population to be out

partying over the days (and nights) of the regatta!
