Dangriga

Dangriga, commonly known as the Cultural Capital of Belize, is situated in the heart of the Stann Creek District. Known for its Garifuna and Creole ancestry, Dangriga is a hub for drumming, cultural music and food, the Caribbean Sea, and the gateway to picturesque hills and valleys. The town of Dangriga, quaint and unique in its simplicity, still remains relatively undiscovered. The authentic culture, local cuisine, small town simplicity, and the warm Belizean hospitality will give you an experience of the heart and soul of Belize.

With a population of some 11,600 people, the vibrant Garifuna culture of Dangriga remains a unified community, offering visitors the opportunity to join in cultural dances, musical drumming and exotic foodie indulgences!

While you’re here, discover the preserved forests, marine tours and annual traditions, such as the November 19th re-enactment of the 1800s Garifuna ancestors’ arrival on Belize’s shores.
