If you’re wondering whether September is a good month to plan a Belize getaway, the short answer is: absolutely—if you know what to expect and how to make the most of it. September isn’t just any month here. It’s a time when Belize bursts with energy, culture, and a unique kind of joy that you don’t see at any other time of year.
The Heart of the Celebrations
September is when Belizeans come alive in celebration of the country’s most meaningful holidays—St. George’s Caye Day on the 10th and Independence Day on the 21st. Towns and villages are decked out in red, white, and blue. From parades and live concerts to carnival floats and cultural performances, there’s an electric buzz across the nation.
This year, the September Celebrations are even more powerful with the 2025 theme: “Belize@44: Stronger Together, Rising Forever.” It’s not just a slogan—it captures the proud, forward-looking spirit of the people and the sense of unity that fills the air during this time.
If you’ve never experienced Belize during the national celebrations, you’re missing out on a side of the country that can’t be replicated. The food is richer, the music louder, and the stories told through dance and costume offer a glimpse into Belize’s deep cultural roots.
Yes, There’s Rain—But That’s Not a Dealbreaker
Let’s talk weather. Yes, September is part of Belize’s green season, so you should expect occasional showers, especially in the evenings or overnight. But those rains are usually short-lived and leave behind fresh, vibrant landscapes. Mornings are typically sunny, which means you can still enjoy outdoor activities like cave tours, river kayaking, and nature hikes.
One of the underrated perks of visiting during this time is fewer tourists. That means more space on the tours you want to take, less crowded attractions, and an overall slower, more laid-back pace. If you’re looking to relax and experience Belize more like a local, September is your month.
Where You Stay Makes All the Difference
We’ve hosted travelers at Villa Massis who told us that visiting in September was the best decision they made. Why? Because they got to enjoy the buzz of the celebrations without sacrificing peace and comfort. We’re just 10 minutes from San Ignacio Town, which means you’re close enough to the action but far enough to unwind in jungle views, take a dip in the pool, and fall asleep to the sound of nature.
At Villa Massis, we can also arrange your transfers, daily excursions, and cultural tours with Belize Hub Tours, our in-house partner. Want to experience the Independence Day parade? Or take a break from the buzz with a visit to the ATM Cave or Xunantunich Maya Ruins? We’ve got you covered.
Final Thoughts
September in Belize is vibrant, unpredictable, and absolutely worth it. From national pride on full display to the chance to see the country through a different lens, it’s a month that tells the Belize story in full color.
