Region Two RDC hosts annual Christmas Tree Light-Up

The Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) on Friday evening hosted its annual Christmas Tree Light-Up at the park opposite the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) in Anna Regina. The event brought together families, community leaders, and children for an evening of festive celebration.

The programme featured a vibrant line-up of songs, poems, dances and Christmas greetings from various groups across the region. Cultural presentations by youth groups and schools added colour to the night, while the audience enjoyed a variety of other entertaining performances that captured the spirit of the season. One of the major highlights of the event was the enthusiastic anticipation of Santa Claus and sharing of gift and goodies. Children gathered at the front of the crowd, eagerly waiting for his arrival, and their excitement grew with every passing minute.
As the countdown began, their voices filled the air, and when the final number was called, the Christmas tree burst to life illuminated with brilliant lights. The reindeer decorations surrounding the tree also lit up, creating a magical scene that had families reaching for their phones and cameras. This year’s event also included a specially designed photo booth and a festive picture frame, both beautifully decorated, giving attendees a perfect spot to capture their holiday memories. Parents and children lined up for photos throughout the evening, adding to the lively atmosphere.
During brief remarks, Regional Chairman Devin Mohan extended warm Christmas greetings to all residents of Region Two. He noted that the annual tree light-up brings families, communities and cultures together, reminding everyone of the season’s message of hope, kindness and togetherness. Mohan commended the RDC staff, performers and volunteers for their hard work in creating a festive atmosphere, and encouraged residents to continue supporting each other as the holiday season unfolds.
Meanwhile, Regional Executive Officer Susan Saywack also extend Christmas greetings to the residents and also expressed words of appreciation for the strong turnout and praised the collaborative effort that made the celebration a success. She noted that the annual light-up continues to grow each year, reflecting the unity and community spirit of the region during the Christmas season.
