Placencia Lobsterfest is just weeks away
and promises to be the best ever. For the first time the festival
will be headed out to the beautiful beach that is Placencia’s claim
to fame. The main Lobsterfest site will be located on the open
expanse of beach between Cozy Corner/Evan’s Place and the Tipsy
Tuna/Barefoot Beach Bar which will allow plenty of room for the
different games and activities being added to this year’s festival
not no mention all the booths that will have delicious lobster
dishes, extraordinary arts and crafts and informative displays.
All events will take place at the main site with the exception of
the 8th annual Placencia Fishermen’s Day Fishing Tournament morning
starts and weigh ins. These events alone will take place at the Main
Dock - at the Placencia Fishermen’s Cooperative. The Rotary Club of
Placencia will have an auxiliary bar at the Weigh In site for all
those thirsty fishermen and fisherwomen and all the spectators that
come to watch the weigh in. Weigh in on Day One , Saturday June
24th, will be from 4 - 6 pm. Weigh in on Day Two , Sunday June 25th,
will be from 1:30 - 3:30 pm. with the traditional Blessing of the
Boats and Boat Parade to follow. We strongly encourage all boats to
be a part of the boat parade, which will circle around the point to
the main Lobsterfest site - weather permitting.
Get ready to kick off your shoes and get “Placencia Barefoot
Perfect” for the fun filled dances Friday night with Gilharry 7
sponsored by the Belize Tourism Board, Saturday with another night
of Gilharry 7 sponsored by MNM Hardware & Service Station Placencia
and Sunday night jump up with DJ TUCA.
All The Lobsters Will Be There!!! You Should Be Too!!!

known through reviews in guide books, on the internet and by word of
mouth.
Owners Jake Roberts and Brad Turton first visited Placencia in May
