Belize, which doesn’t get as much tourism attention as it would like, is planning to bring in some more, lured by a music and food festival featuring local and international talent and the country’s cooking.
The Belize International Music and Food Festival, which will take place July 30 and 31, will feature four food-tasting pavilions, ten international artists, two international DJs, sixteen local artists, and a number of local DJs. Music will include reggae, Afro-beats, dancehall, soca, punta, and Latin beats.
Tourism Minister Anthony Mahler, in a statement, said that “It is important for us as a country to support our musicians. This music festival will create a platform whereby we can build exposure for our local artists. We are investing in our culture and creativity because we want to create a continuous platform for our artists to excel.”
