Thanks to all the cultural musicians that graced us at #ParrandaFest2017 with their talent. (at Hopkins, Belize)

All praises and gratitude are extended to our ancestors for the bountiful guidance that made Hopkins International Parranda Music Fest 2017 the inspiring endeavor that it is. It is always a challenge to finance this hallmark event that has become the driving tourism and economic force during the Easter Weekend when finding a hotel room becomes next to impossible. The economic benefits are great as many local businesses are able to capitalize on the increase number of guests in Dangriga, Hopkins & Placencia. For this we say thanks to our sponsors NICH, BTB, TRAVELER'S LIQUOR, HAMANASI, LOVE FM, PGTV, CPBL, TINA'S KITCHEN, MARY'S ALL NATURAL, STANN CREEK HOUSE OF CULTURE, ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL BANK and BOWEN & BOWEN that makes this possible. Your contribution and partnership have been valuable to us. Thanks for the great confidence placed on us to make this event an annual meaningful and successful event. Culture is wealth!!! CULTURAL preservation is or business! ! Serving to inspire and unite. #ParrandaFest2017 (at Garifuna Heart and Soul Foundation)
