Hosted on the third weekend of July every year, National Garifuna Festival is held in the town of Bajamar, near Puerto Cortés in northwestern Honduras. Understandably, this Honduras holiday and celebration is held in the honor of the Garifuna people and communities. During this time, Bajamar comes alive with the locals sipping on Gifity (is a Garifuna drink comprised of Rum, mixed herbs, and roots) and enjoying a merry time. There’s singing, dancing, and a whole lot of enjoyment, turning the entire town into a large party.
