PLACENCIA Breeze A Placencia BTIA Publication
Yurumein November 19th At Tipsy Tuna November 19th in Belize is celebrated as Garifuna Settlement Day. The celebration usually begins very early in the morning of the 19th with the re-enactment of the Garifuna arrival, known as the Yurumein, to the shores of Belize. A few years ago, the Tipsy Tuna began doing the Yurumein at 3:00 in the afternoon, rather than early in the morning allowing more people to be a part of this special occasion. It is followed by dancing, singing and a big party! So, if you want to see an integral part of Belize's Garifuna culture and you can't make it to one of the early morning Yurumein, then come out to the beach at Tipsy Tuna at 3 p.m. on November 19th!
