The highly anticipated Crooked Tree Village Cashew Fest and Agriculture Show 2023 is scheduled to take place on May thirteenth and fourteenth. The event was first organized back in the early eighties by the first Belize Rural North Area Representative, the late Samuel Rhaburn.

In 1983, Crooked Tree Village hosted the event and from that the Cashew Fest and Agriculture Show was born. Four decades later, the annual event lives on.
