As preparations for the Mashramani celebrations continue, the Georgetown Mayor and City Council officials have provided an update on the selling of vending spots this year. During a statutory meeting on Monday, the delay in vending spot sales was discussed. City officials explained that ongoing road work required a redo of the spot numbering, which prevented sales from beginning as planned on February 9. It was confirmed that vending spots will be available for sale starting February 11.
Vending spots are being demarcated along Vlissengen Road, from Guyana Water Inc (GWI) to Barr Street, Kitty, Georgetown to ensure an orderly layout for the upcoming Mashramani celebrations on February 23, 2026. In addition to Vlissengen Road, Merriman’s Mall will again serve as a hub for vending and picnic activities, directly overseen by the City Council. The area will also host games and other recreational elements as part of the Council’s efforts to ensure safe and enjoyable celebrations. Vendors will only be allowed on the side of the road opposite to the floats and masqueraders to ensure smooth procession movement. Post-Mashramani cleanup is also vital, with City Council teams assigned to remove all garbage along the route once celebrations have ended.
