                          About Public Holidays in Guyana

                          Guyana's Republic Day (February 23) marks the 1970 transition to a republic, distinct from Independence Day (May 26, 1966, from Britain) four years earlier - one of several former British colonies to mark these two constitutional milestones separately. Diwali and Eid al-Fitr are both widely observed given the country's significant Hindu and Muslim populations of South Asian descent.
