The highly anticipated Digicel Rupununi Ranchers Rodeo will take place in the bustling town of Lethem, Region 9, from March 29th to 31st. Lethem will transform into a hub of exciting rodeo activity, a pageant, and other celebrations, bringing fans from all over. Rodeo has become a major event on the national calendar, attracting primarily three groups of people: Rupununi communities, coast landers (Guyanese and expats), and tourists from adjacent Brazil. The event provides a significant economic boost to the Rupununi while also highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the Rupununi and its indigenous communities.
This year’s event has received unprecedented support from corporate Guyana and the government of Guyana through various ministries. The Rupununi Livestock Producers Association (RLPA) and Rodeo Committee would like to recognise and thank their partners and sponsors for their participation in this year’s Rodeo 2024. Maria Munroe, Sponsorship Manager, stated that the expense of the ground’s infrastructure maintenance increases year after year, but we are grateful to our partners/sponsors who continue to support this event. “We are really grateful to the private sector for assisting us in creating an unforgettable event for all stakeholders. Our committee is greatly encouraged by the continued support of all the businesses and ministries that agree to participate year after year. We would like to take this time to thank our partners: The Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI), Ministry of Tourism/GTA, Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, Corporate Giant Banks DIH, Blue Spring Waters, and the Government of Guyana.”
The sponsors of this event are longstanding partner, DIGICEL – the title sponsor, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Frontier Pharmacy and Team Mohamed’s. Patrons can expect to enjoy 14 main events sponsored by businesses within Lethem and Georgetown, namely Trans Guyana, GBTI – Lethem and Republic Bank -Lethem and ICON Construction
