All Central American countries host massive cultural performances and lively festivities to raise their flags with pride and celebrate their history and freedom.

In Belize, every district prepares an itinerary of celebrations for the community. Although Caye Caulker is a slow-paced and charming island, it also joins the rest of Belize in celebrating the patriotic month of September with extravagant activities and festivals. Two significant events in Belize during this time include the Battle of St. George’s Caye on the 10th of September and Independence Day on the 21st of September.

The streets of Caye Caulker colorfully come to life during these days. The native islanders dress in beautiful outfits and masked costumes as they parade through the streets to the sound of drums and upbeat music. Students in the parade proudly wave up their flags as golf carts decorated in red, blue, and white follow behind, blowing horns and hailing, “Hipp Hipp – Hurray!”

One night on the island is not enough to enjoy this extravagance. The best way to bask in the patriotic aura is by staying the night, or a couple of nights; and what better place to lodge than at Caye Caulker Plaza Hotel. Caye Caulker Plaza Hotel lets you experience September in Belize on a whole other level.

Caye Caulker Plaza Hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the island and gives you direct access to the beach and central park, where the ceremonies take place. The bedrooms are spacious, clean, and cooling for these hot September celebrations in Belize. It is also a walking distance to many snorkel tour operators, restaurants, and souvenirs/gift shops to make your stay unbelievable!

You can catch all the action directly from our rooftop terrace, which makes it the best place to stay to witness all the celebrations on the island. It offers a remarkable view of the street festivities as well as amazing sunsets and sunrises.

So come in September and celebrate Belize, From Maya Grandeur to Modern Glory, Together Let’s Shape the Belizean Story.
