Home News Guyana’s 59th Independence Anniversary ‘Flag Days’, patriotic concert announced ahead...
The Guyana Government has officially announced the launch of ‘Flag Days’, a national patriotic initiative set to run from May 24 to May 26, 2025 in the lead-up to the country’s 59th Independence Anniversary.
The initiative is designed to unite Guyanese from every corner of the nation under the emblem of the Golden Arrowhead.
“Flag Days is more than an event; it is a movement,” a statement released announcing the plans noted. Thousands of national flags will be distributed and displayed at homes, schools, businesses, and public spaces. The effort aims to highlight Guyana’s sovereignty, strength, and shared destiny, affirming the national motto of “One People, One Nation, One Destiny.”
The celebrations will officially begin on May 24 with a major patriotic concert in Anna Regina, featuring some of Guyana’s most celebrated local artists. Organisers describe the event as an evening of music, culture and national pride — designed to serve both as a joyful celebration and a rallying call for unity.
On May 25, citizens across the country will be encouraged to prominently display the national flag on verandas, rooftops, vehicles, bicycles, and other visible spaces. The Government is calling on every Guyanese to actively participate, using the occasion to honour national symbols, celebrate the country’s rich heritage, and demonstrate collective pride in the nation’s achievements and future.
“Let the world see the Golden Arrowhead wave strong and free,” the statement urged. “Let the land of many waters shine with the spirit of its people. Let Guyana stand proud, unshakable, indivisible, and sovereign.”
The ‘Flag Days’ initiative is expected to generate patriotic momentum leading up to Independence Day on May 26, when Guyana commemorates its emergence as a free and independent nation.
For more details on local events and how to get involved, citizens are encouraged to follow updates from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and other official Government channels.
