The story
Hopkins Mango Festival in Hopkins
A late-spring harvest festival in Hopkins, a coastal Garifuna village in Stann Creek District, celebrating the local mango season with mango-based food and drink, drumming, and beachfront community gatherings. The village, widely regarded as a center of Belizean Garifuna culture, turns the fruit harvest into a full day of music and shared meals along the shore.
Hopkins is a Garifuna village on Belize's central coast, in Stann Creek District, and Wikipedia's own entry on the village describes it as considered by some Belizeans to be the cultural center of the country's Garifuna population, a community that traces its roots to Afro-Indigenous people exiled from the Grenadines by the British in the 18th century.
