Annual Street Art Festival lights up Belize City

Belize's happiness ratio is probably due to the fact that the country hosts an array of festive events throughout the year. These festivals feature a focus on Belizean culture, particularly ethnicity, food and traditions. One of them is the highly-anticipated colourful Street Art Festival held annually in downtown Belize City, where thousands of Belizeans and visitors convened for a date with art, music, entertainment and food.

One of the most popular activities is the 'Side Walk Chalk' competition that showcases the talent of Belizean artists. This year's participants explored their creativity with patriotic and informative pieces reflecting the theme 'Your Appointment with History: April 10, 2019.' On this date, Belizeans will be asked to participate in a national referendum on whether to settle the Guatemalan territorial claim to Belize at the International Court of Justice.
