San Pedro’s 8th Lobsterfest IS JUST Around the Corner & The Schedule is Coming Together

In 2007, the San Pedro business community decided to host its very first Lobster Festival in Belize.  Placencia’s had been in place (this year is the 17th Anniversary) and so had Caye Caulker (this year is the 21st) for a while…

But we were new – especially me.  It was my first summer living in Belize.  Food, drinks, music (a pretty awesome jam band called “The Fat Cats”)…it turned out to be a HUGE success.  HUGE.  My friend and I even had a booth serving 1000 cupcakes and a drink called “Mermaid’s Kiss” – some frothy blue concoction with Blue Curacao and coconut rum.

I still have our booth’s sign hanging in my loft.

And I was a judge of the food and the drink…it is NOT an easy task.

2013 I was in the states and missed the whole thing!

And last year, I attended all three festivals – Placencia, Caye Caulker and San Pedro

Caye Caulker’s (by the way) is pretty kick-ass.
