The West Fest 

First of it's kind, the West Fest is an eco-friendly and family-friendly event that celebrates three thousand years and counting of culture, food and music of the twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena at the Macal River Park on September 15. The West Fest is organized by the Cayo Chapter of the Belize Tourism Industry Association (BTIA) with the intentions of giving back and builing the local community through the funds generated. This year, the fund generated will be used to purchase resources for the San Ignacio/Santa Elena Police Department.

It will be a no-plastic and non-alcoholic event, perfect for families to come out and experience the richness of all the cultural ethnic groups in the West. All cultures will be represented at the festival through custumes, music, dance, food, and performances. There will also be a grand raffle of amazing prizes worth up to $60,000! Come out and celebrate with us! Represent your culture at the West Fest on September 15!
