Carnival Road March & Jouvert

This frenzy of colors is a captivating sight to behold.

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 the Carnival Road March, which starts in the afternoon and winds through the principal streets of Belize City. Join in the celebrations and lively dances as bands dressed in extravagant costumes perform well-choreographed routines throughout the streets.

Photo-ops will be plentiful, so get your camera ready for this once-a-year fiesta of color along Belize City’s principal streets!

Carnival History

First organized in 1975 by the Committee of Forty to extend the celebratory spirit of Belize’s Independence Day and Battle of St. George’s Caye Day, Carnival remains a top attraction during September.
