Belize Chocolate Festival

Punta Gorda is host to the Chocolate Festival of Belize and we were lucky enough to catch it!

Here are some highlights. 



We were fortunate to get front row seats to a cultural dance in honor of cacao farming. It was very reverent and the young folks did a great job. It will be a special memory for all of us. 












Local children mesmerized watching!

    I celebrate chocolate practically everyday! Seriously, the costumes are so colorful and festive. I'm glad you got to see the celebration while you were there!
