Want to See How Independence Day Should be Celebrated? Get Yourself to Belize!

This grateful nation displays its patriotic zeal each September, and you’re invited to the party.

U.S. citizens celebrate Independence Day by setting off fireworks and holding family barbecues and if July 4th falls on a weekday, everyone gets a holiday from work. Belize takes its independence day far more seriously—perhaps because the nation waited longer than most to become an independent nation, free of the influence of former colonizers.

While September 21st is the country’s official birthday, Belizeans consider the entire month of September to be sacrosanct, so if you want to see what it’s like to watch a grateful people pay homage to their freedom, coming to Belize in September guarantees a great time—but only if you like parties, parades, festivals, and beauty pageants!

The 2024 celebration theme says it all

The 2024 celebration theme, “A Nation Proud and Free: Belize @ 43”, encapsulates Belize’s spirit as it marks another year of independence. While the official founding date is September 21, 1981, the September festivities celebrate a history far deeper than 43 years. This year’s theme, chosen from a contest, resonates with the unity and patriotism felt by Belizeans nationwide.
