Why You Should Visit Belize in the Low Season




Traveling to Belize in the low season is the best time to immerse yourself in entertaining performances, tasty cuisines, vivid artistry, and cultural celebrations. The low season is from May to October, during the country’s rainy season. A bit of rain won’t stop the thrill of anticipating your next adventure when in Belize. It is mostly blue skies, radiant sunlight, and swaying trees for a great time to do fun-filled adventures! This time of the year is known for numerous energetic activities, lively musical festivities, spirited locals, and vibrant wildlife. 

Festivals Galore

There is something to do every weekend. From tasting traditionally made Maya chocolate at the Chocolate Festival in May, listening to the melodic marimba at Benque Fiesta, to eating a variety of lobster dishes in Caye Caulker, Placencia, or San Pedro in July. Continue the fun in La Isla Bonita by dancing as an ULTRA VIP at the first-ever Belize International Music and Food Festival or watching the adrenaline of fisherpersons at Grand Caribe’s Annual Deep Sea Classic Fishing Tournament.

Travel Belize

Patriotic and Proud

Experience Belize at the height of its celebrations in September. Move your body till the break of dawn covered in colorful clay, paint, or chocolate, along with excited locals. Later on, get ready to fete at the Carnival Road march with swaying feathers, dazzling sequins, and vibrant costumes. Line the streets to watch the St. George’s Caye Day parade or watch the glistening fireworks light up the sky as the bold Belize flag flies to bring in Independence Day. Festivities in the low season are the ones you don’t want to miss for an authentic interaction with Belize’s friendly people.
