By Rubén Morales Iglesias: In a significant update for this year’s Independence Day celebrations, the route for the Belize City Independence Day Parade has been altered to focus exclusively on the Southside. The parade will now conclude at the Belize City Civic Center.
The newly revised 21st Day Uniform Parade route will see students assembling at Regent and Albert Streets. From the House of Culture, the parade will proceed along Yarborough Road, Fairweather Street, Dolphin Street, Cemetery Road, and Central American Boulevard, before ending at the Civic Center. This new route covers a distance of 1.6 miles, which is 0.4 miles shorter than the traditional route from Memorial Park to Wesley College.
Participants and spectators are advised to take note of these changes to ensure a smooth and enjoyable celebration. The adjustment comes after complaints that North Front Street, in the vicinity of Pickstock and Victoria Streets, floods in the mornings due to high tide.
Additionally, the parade route change will benefit Southside businesses that were unable to enjoy the benefits of the Carnival Parade this year, as it was moved to the Northside.
