September Celebrations

The September Celebrations are a pair of holidays in Belize only eleven days apart. They are:

A calendar of activities has traditionally been held every year centered on both events. Annual traditions such as the Queen of the Bay pageant, concerts and talent shows, the Citizens Parade on the Tenth and Uniform Parade on the 21st and Carnival (traditionally held on the middle Saturday but has been held on other days) add to the Celebrations.

In 2007, September Celebrations began on August 31 and concluded on September 22 with a postponed Carnival (it had been postponed for two weeks due to Hurricanes Dean and Felix).
