The Historic Center of Guatemala City will be the focal point for celebrations commemorating the 205th anniversary of Guatemala’s independence. Over 130 bands are expected to participate in the Civic-School Parade scheduled for September 15th. Authorities have announced a traffic management plan – “plan de movilidad” – to accommodate the event and anticipated crowds. The plan includes alternate routes and street closures throughout the city. Details regarding specific road closures and timing will be released by Emetra, the city’s transportation authority. Residents and visitors are advised to plan accordingly for potential disruptions to their normal commutes within Guatemala City. The parade promises a significant display of national pride and cultural expression.
