The Mundo Maya region was represented with vibrant color and sounds on Thursday, July 28th as Finn + Martini hosted the first-ever Reina De La Costa Maya parade through San Pedro Town.
This was one of the exciting events that has been organized leading up to the largest International Festival of Belize: The International Costa Maya Festival.
To the sound of drumming and cheers of the crowd gathered to watch, elaborately decorated golf carts carried the beauty representatives from Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama from Finn + Martini on Laguna Drive down Pescador Drive to the ultimate destination: Fido’s Courtyard and Pier.
At Fido’s, the ladies changed out of their cultural costumes and received their official pageant sashes after a quick dinner.
