Events calendar Belize District And North Coast

Fishing competitions, regattas, masts and more make this traditional festival the place to be in the country at this time of year. It's a chance to see at work the magnificent wooden boats built by local master craftsmen. It's also an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy an anthology "beach party", during which tourists and locals alike dance to the rhythm of frenzied music on the village beach after the competitions. The party ends around 3 a.m., so plan to rest up on Easter Monday!

This feast is celebrated by the inhabitants of the village of Progresso in the Corozal District, in order to honour the Maya culinary tradition of cooking pork. " Pibil "means" buried "and refers to the way in which pigs are generally cooked in a plantain banana leaf, étouffé. Amateurs of cochonnaille, prepare to eat well!
