About Queen of the Bay 2023

The Queen of the Bay pageant is an annual event held in Belize City, Belize. It is one of the most popular pageants in the country and is a major cultural event. The pageant is held on the eve of the Battle of St. George's Caye, which is a national holiday in Belize. The pageant is open to young women from all over Belize. The contestants compete in various events, including evening gowns, talent, and interviews. The winner of the pageant is crowned Queen of the Bay and becomes an ambassador for Belize. She also receives a number of prizes, including scholarship money and a year's supply of cosmetics. The Queen of the Bay pageant is a major fundraiser for the Belize Cancer Society. The proceeds from the pageant go towards supporting cancer research and treatment in Belize. The first Queen of the Bay pageant was held in 1946. The winner of that pageant was Rita Lewis. The pageant has been held yearly since then, except for a brief hiatus during the 1970s. The Queen of the Bay pageant is a beloved tradition in Belize. It is a time for the country to unite and celebrate its culture and heritage. The pageant is also a reminder of the importance of fighting cancer.

Belize City Swing Bridge
Downtown Belize City is riddled with historical ­remnants of a different time when Belize was only known as British Honduras. One of these time capsules is the well-known Swing Bridge ... morewhich connects the north and south side of the city and is known to be the only bridge in the world still operated by hand. With the Haulover Creek tributary passing underneath to branch into the Caribbean Sea, the bridge was first erected in 1818 when it was only a wooden bridge. Later, it was replaced in 1859 and eventually replaced by a metal bridge in 1923.

Initially known as “The Grand Belize Bridge,” the swing bridge is a popular tourist attraction with a great view of all the sailboats and pelicans surrounding the site. While it has been through a few facelifts, the historic Hurricane Hattie and taken its toll through time, it is still operated today during very special ceremonies.
