The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) is hosting a two-day International Music and Food Festival this July 30-31, 2022, at the Saca Chispas Field in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.

The first of its kind, the Belize International Music and Food Festival aims to showcase local and international musical artists as well as Belize's exceptional cuisine. Ten international artists, two international DJs, sixteen local artists, and a number of local DJs will take the stage to celebrate global music genres ranging from Reggae, Afro-Beats, Dancehall, Soca, Punta, and Latin beats.

Festival attendees will also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Belize's rich culinary culture by sampling local delicacies showcased within four food pavilions offering favorite local street eats, gourmet dishes, as well as ethnic recipes passed on from generation to generation.

The Belize International Music and Food Festival is intended to set the stage for innovations beyond sound and taste, in a platform to inspire travel to Belize by showcasing an array of its assets. 

The objectives of the festival are:

• To create an immersive tourism experience through music and culture that will strengthen Belize's image as a premier destination for visitors across the globe
• To use the festival as a platform for Belizean artists to showcase their talent, network with each other, and build relationships for international growth
• To increase domestic, regional and international tourism traffic during the industry's historically slow season
• To support the goal of the creation of a state-of-the-art music studio that will serve as a hub for local artists and musicians

The BTB invites visitors from all over the world to join in on this inaugural event. General admission tickets, VIP table tickets, and ultra VIP booth tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite. For more information on the festival, visit: belizeinternationalmusicandfoodfestival.com.
