So we’ll catch up with you all in a week!

We will also be celebrating Belize’s Independence Day again this year. Here is something you may not have known:

  • Belize celebrates its 42nd year of independence on September 21, 2023.

  • It transitioned from a British colony to a sovereign nation on September 21, 1981.

  • Every year, Belize has a contest for the Independence Day theme; 2023's is "Hope ignited, hands united, vision renewed: Belize@42!"

  • September is dubbed the “Patriotic Month” in Belize.

  • On September 10, Belizeans commemorated The Battle of St. George's Caye Day, marking the 1798 victory over the Spanish fleet.

  • This battle made Belize Central America’s only English-speaking country.

  • During September, Belizeans worldwide return home, streets are adorned in red, white, and blue, and the country is alive with festivities.
