The Chocolate Festival of Belize kicked off with great excitement—and quickly turned even more intense when a scheduling clash arose with the Punta Gorda Town Council (PGTC), which had planned a concert for the same weekend. Despite the initial tensions, both sides came together, resolved their differences, and moved forward with their respective events. In the end, everything worked out smoothly, with both the festival and the concert enjoying great success. It was a vibrant and memorable weekend for all involved.
