The story
Wakenaam Island Festival in Wakenaam
The confirmed public event on Wakenaam Island is Wakenaam Night, held at the island's Community Centre Ground with stage performances and a roughly thirty-booth mini expo; no source used the exact name Wakenaam Island Festival, which likely describes this same event rather than a separate one. Reaching the island requires a river crossing from Parika or Leguan.
Wakenaam is roughly 45 square kilometers of farmland at the mouth of the Essequibo River, settled by Dutch planters in the 18th century and now home to rice and coconut cultivation rather than the tourism infrastructure found on Guyana's mainland towns.
