Activities leading up to the Reina de la Costa Maya Pageant continue in full swing on Ambergris Caye. On Saturday August 2nd, the newly sashed contestants were officially introduced to islanders at Noche San Pedrana hosted by Elvi’s Kitchen.
The beauty ambassadors all took to the stage, modeling their cultural outfit that displayed a bit of each of their country’s rich diversities. They introduced themselves and spoke about their country, and even shared a bit about their Belizean experience.
