The Placencia Lobsterfest, an annual celebration of Belize’s lobster season, has been rescheduled to July 19th-21st due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Beryl. The festival, originally planned for this weekend, promises a vibrant display of local culture, cuisine, and conservation efforts.
A Rich History of Celebration and Conservation
Since its inception in 1998, the Placencia Lobsterfest has grown from a humble gathering at the fishing harbor to a major three-day event. The festival not only showcases a diverse array of Belizean seafood delicacies but also incorporates the Placencia Fisherman’s Saltwater Tournament and the Southern Environmental Association’s annual Lionfish Tournament, highlighting the importance of environmental conservation.

The festival is a significant contributor to Placencia’s economy and attracts thousands of visitors each year.
