Belize
Central America is one of the epicenters with the largest number of carnival festivals in the continent. Carnivals in this part of the Americas are steeped in history and commemorate the identity of all locals.
This carnival has a theme much more rooted in the origins of the Belizeans, as it commemorates Independence Day and is of vital importance to the country's national identity. The carnival is celebrated in Belize City and has a large number of Caribbean, African and Creole identity elements.
