Noche San Pedrana - What a Blast!!

The first of the many fun events for the Costa Maya Festival is definitely Noche San Pedrana. Hosted by the San Pedro Lions Club, this annual event is a night wherein the community at large gets to know the representatives from the various countries, mingle with them and in general have a grand old time.
This year was no different as the delegates got to once more enjoy the warm welcome that Belize is known for. With both a DJ and Rompe Raja Band kicking up the tunes, everyone who attended Noche San Pedrana had a great time. The festivities have begun, and they only get better each day!!
After a lovely dinner and some presentations, the lovely delegates presented the first ever fashion show, showcasing the items of Expressions Boutique, Mambo Chill, Letty's Fashions, MoonDancer Boutique and Sarai's Boutique.
The crowd got to dance and enjoy the company of the very lovely and friendly ladies as well...

Many more photos and video to come...stay tuned to The San Pedro Sun!!
