PG Day

On Saturday January 28th the second annual Punta Gorda Day was celebrated. We decided to stay close to town to take in all of the festivities. The event kicked off with a local group singing the Belize national anthem in Garifuna language. There were information booths and food booths along with a table filled with historical photos of the people of PG. The city triangle park was filled with locals. We ate some delicious local food and listened to some live and some very loud DJ music throughout the day. The day ended with an all night concert in the sports pavilion on the edge of town. We bought tickets ($7.50 US) for the 7:00 concert which didn't gat started until about 9:30. We stayed for the first group of very good Garifuna drummers but we could hear the concert all night a mile away in our hotel room!
