Mashramani often abbreviated to “Mash” is an annual festival that celebrates Guyana becoming a Republic in 1970. The festival includes a parade, music, games , cooking and is intended to commemorate Guyanese Republic Day, celebrated annually on February 23 .
The word “Mashramani” is derived from an Amerindian language and in Guyanese English means “celebration after cooperative work.” It is one of the most colorful of all the country festivals and one of the few that involves all Guyanese ethnic groups.
