The annual independence anniversary, colourful float parade set for July 7, is anticipated to be one of the main key highlights at this year’s independence celebrations.
Introduced three years ago, the float parade will set through Honiara’s main streets from both ends of the city, and will feature government ministries, corporate organisations, schools and civil society organisations.
The parade will congregate at the national stadium before it officially kicks off and there will be speeches and cultural performances, a statement by the Government Communication Unit (GCU) yesterday said.
The independence organising committee is encouraging participants to be well prepared as prizes will be awarded during the celebrations to the best and most colourful float groups.
Participating organisations are also encouraged to use the event to highlight their services and products with festive colours and flair.
A detailed programme of the float parade will be distributed throughout various media platforms later this week.
Last year’s winning float parade awarded to the Ministry of Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening (MPGIS).
This year’s anniversary celebration will be officially hosted under the Theme “Our Nation, Our Responsibility and Accountability – Building a Great Solomon Islands”.
