Second Annual San Pedro Lobster Festival set for June
The rainy season in Belize is in effect during June, but that doesn’t stop San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye from celebrating the opening of the year’s lobster catching season with a big party. The inaugural San Pedro Lobsterfest in 2007 was deemed a big success by organizers, so hopes are high for another home run when the 2008 Lobsterfest kicks off on June 14 in the island’s major village.
In 2007 Tino Gonzales won the prize for most pounds of lobsters caught on opening day with 717 pounds hauled in. The following day was the Block Party where prizes were awarded in various lobster-related competitions including Best Lobster Dish that went to Elito Arceo of Tabu Café for his lobster stew. Locals Sterling Vorus and Alyssa Arceo were crowned Lobster King and Queen of 2007, which will no doubt make their lives easier in the future.
