September Celebrations (Belize)
- September Celebrations (Belize)
The September Celebrations are a pair of holidays in the Central American nation of Belize only eleven days apart. They are:
* Battle of St. George's Caye Day (alternatively, National Day), September 10, celebrated since 1798;
* Independence Day, celebrated since 1981.
A calendar of activities has traditionally been held every year centered around 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 mystique of the Celebrations.
The current year's 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).
