The story

CARICOM Day Guyana in Georgetown/Multi-city

CARICOM Day marks the 4 July 1973 signing of the Treaty of Chaguaramas by the prime ministers of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, which created the Caribbean Community. Guyana observes it as a public holiday on the first Monday in July, notable because Georgetown has hosted the CARICOM secretariat since the organisation's founding, though the day itself is marked mainly by official statements rather than a large public festival.

The Treaty of Chaguaramas, signed on 4 July 1973 by the prime ministers of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, established the Caribbean Community and Common Market, now known as CARICOM, and Guyana observes the anniversary as a public holiday on the first Monday in July each year.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

02

The mystery stays covered

Unlike Guyana's festival-format holidays, CARICOM Day has no fixed public event, parade or gathering point attached to it

The city starts moving

commemoration instead centres on official addresses from government and regional officials and media coverage of the treaty's history, making it one of the more civic and least visually distinctive dates on the national holiday calendar
