The 65th Miss San Pedro Pageant 2024, held under the enchanting theme of “Belizean Jewels,” showcased the grace, beauty, and intelligence of five island beauty ambassadors. Originally scheduled to coincide with the Dia de San Pedro festivities (June 29), the pageant faced a brief postponement due to the threat of Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall dangerously close in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Despite the delay, the Miss San Pedro Pageant did not disappoint. As always, it attracted a massive crowd eager to witness the coronation of the new beauty ambassador. The five contestants dazzled the audience with their charm, charisma, and stage presence, each vying for the coveted title with poise and confidence.
