Bartica Regatta

Bartica Regatta, which takes place on the same weekend as Easter, is another event that draws crowds from all across the country. On the Essequibo River, Bartica is one of the key gates to Guyana's mining districts. It offers a peaceful atmosphere and a beautiful stretch of sand that comes to life during the regatta. Speed boats sprint through the normally tranquil waters, leaving a white wake behind them, attracting visitors from all over the world. A Miss Regatta Pageant, music bands performing for the people, food booths and merchants, and plenty of booze are among the other competitions and celebrations.

The event's primary attractions are the water sports and racing, which take place on Bartica's Golden Beach. Canoeing, Jet Ski races, and F1 Unlimited boat races, including 40hp, 90hp, 200hp, and mixed races, are all available. Racers compete for financial prizes and bragging rights, and after the races, there is the much-anticipated regatta wash down, which is a massive party with music, dancing, and food, usually held on the last day.
