The-Lobster-Tradition:

Mingle with the local fishermen community of Belize and they will attest to the significance of lobster festival season. Traditionally, it was this community who initiated what has now flourished into an internationally recognized event, attracting thousands of lobster-lovers, annually.

As a main means of income for these communities, fishermen started the celebration at the opening of lobster season (in June).
