Save the Date!
This year makes the 13th anniversary for the Chocolate Festival.
This three-day festival, held in Toledo, is a significant cultural event, in appreciation of the cocoa production in Belize.
Cacao, also known as “Kakaw”, is regarded as the food of the gods, holding great cultural significance for the ancient Maya culture. The harvesting of cacao is an ancient practice passed down from generations and is deeply rooted in Belize’s heritage.
Today, we celebrate the cacao bean with the Chocolate Festival. Local cacao producers take the event as an opportunity to share some of their finest crafted chocolate products.
Countless infused chocolate dishes and cocktails will be available. Your taste buds will run wild as you indulge in all the chocolate treats available. The Belikin Chocolate Stout is one product especially made for the festival that you should try!
