"So I stumbled upon a parade today...."

"So I stumbled upon a parade today...." | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Battle of St. George's Caye Day parade, as seen from a tourist's view.  There are some decent pictures posted.  

 

"There are a lot of different celebrations in Belize every September - the most important two being The Battle of St. George's Caye day on the 10, and Independence Day on the 21st (celebrating 31 years of independence this month)- but I have no idea what today's parade was all about.  I heard something about Carnival Day... but I haven't been able to confirm that information...  Further up the road, though, where I noticed people standing in groups on the side of the street, I heard marching band drums and saw a police truck idling in the middle of the street with what appeared to be a parade behind it, so I ducked down a side street and watched it go by for a while."

Travel and Escape has a great article on Belize's Carnival.  They even give a top 5 list.  Tonight in Cayo, there's a lot going on.  Battle of the DJ's in Santa Elena, and a cultural night at Octavia Waight.  Have a great weekend!

 

"Belize’s Carnival is one of Latin America’s biggest celebrations of Caribbean heritage.  From parades to keg contests, here are the top five events to see during the September Celebrations."
