Carnival 2025 to Follow Same Route as Last Year

Minister of Culture Francis Fonseca has confirmed that this year’s Carnival parade will follow the same route as last year’s, running along Marine Parade in Belize City.

Fonseca expressed full confidence in the decision, citing strong support from all stakeholders.

“Absolutely, 100%, we are sticking with the route we had last year,” Fonseca said. “I think we’ve received unanimous support for that route. The Carnival Association is very happy, and most Belizeans who participated in or watched the carnival last year believe it was a great idea.”

Fonseca added that the Belize Police Department also favoured the change, noting the improved ability to manage the crowd and ensure safety.

“The police certainly loved the fact that they were able to have more control over the carnival,” he said. “So yes, we are full steam ahead with the route from last year.”
