Belize Carnival & Jouvert 2015!

Get ready for all things festive, as the streets of Belize City are set-alight by dancing masqueraders, September 12th, 2015: “Carnival Road March” and “Jouvert”!

The inevitable merging of spirits is a highlight of these celebrations and it is the perfect way to discover the true mode-of-Belize!

Join in the well-choreographed dances of Carnival Road March 2015 as bands adorn themselves in extravagant costumes, engaging all onlookers along the way!  It all starts in the morning with “Jouvert”, a street-party FOR ALL through the streets of Belize City (expect to get a little messy with items such as chocolate and paint).  Enjoy “Carnival Road March” which starts in the afternoon and can be followed through the principal streets of Belize City.
