Led by Region Chairman Mr. Alli Baksh and Regional Executive Officer Mr. Nankishore, the revellers danced their way to the Anna Regina Community Centre Ground to the cheers of thousands of persons, who flocked the roads to admire the procession.

As the revellers and their floats arrived at the ground, pulsating rhythms produced by the flute and drums of the traditional Masquerade Band filled the air.

The road show and float parade began at Three Friends Bridge in the south, some three miles from Anna Regina, and gathered volume and pace as the procession moved to Anna Regina for the final judging and rally.

One of the largest contingents was the band sponsored by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). This band was awarded the first prize, while the group representing the construction section of the Regional Administration claimed the first prize in the float competition.
