The spectacular comedic show has been confirmed by the Festival Committee to take stage on Sunday, August 8, 2010, Family Night at the Costa Maya Festival. It’s a show suitable for all ages.
The Bilbao show is an artistic concept consisting of four singers, comedians and impersonators on stage, accompanied by three live musicians and an assistant, eight people in total. With a history of more than 25 years, the Bilbao show has traveled throughout Mexico as well as some U.S. cities and some South American countries.
The dynamics of the show consists of comedy sketches and imitations of international artists such as Vicente Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, Emmanuel, Gloria Trevi, Luis Miguel, Il. Divo, among many others. They have promised the Costa Maya Festival audience close to a two hour show for the closing of the festival.
And you bet, organizers of the upcoming Costa Maya are probably wishing that six million dollar facelift was already a reality. However, the show of shows, one of Belize's most glamorous event remains La Isla Bonita's biggest draw for tourists both domestically and internationally. Its only one week away and the annual four day international festival scheduled for opening next Thursday is boasting the usual roster of local and international celebs.

For the kids, we have a special night the Sunday night, the clowns will be there to entertain the kids and we also have the finalist for the duets for last season. We couldn't get 'Buki' unfortunately, but we have the other two and they are performing also on the Sunday night. There will be food, drinks, games, it's for everyone basically."
Monica Bodden "Is there anything different in comparison to the other years?"
Costa Maya Representative "Well this year we will definitely be much bigger than last year. Last year we did have international artists as we have every year. This year we want reggaeton artists, it is a big influence in Belize and we want a new flavor for the Costa Maya this year. We got the opportunity to bring Kris y Angel and they are the major group that we will have performing on Saturday. On Friday we will also have two reggaeton groups performing and that is for the family night also. It's a big festival, it happens annually; we want everyone to come out.
