Drumming in City streets for Garifuna Settlement Day
But on a positive note, on Wednesday, Belizeans will get the day off to commemorate the 1823 arrival of Garinagus to the country. In the weeks leading up to the actual day, teachers typically take the opportunity to teach their students about the various cultures in Belize. This morning approximately five hundred and sixty-three students from Wesley Lower School climaxed their lesson in culture with a Garifuna and Creole church service, followed by a parade of cultures through the streets of Belize.
