September 2024: Daily Events Calendar on Ambergris Caye
This is a list of the many SEPTEMBER 2024 events and activities around Ambergris Caye. But before I dive into the calendar, let’s start with the big picture.
Also, businesses! If you would like to be included on this calendar, please email me [email protected]. Thank you!
Belize Celebrates Independence in September. There are two national holidays. This September 10th is the 226th Anniversary of the Battle of St. George’s Caye. When a small group of British Baymen and their slaves battled and then ejected the Spanish fleet off the coast of Belize. September 21st is Independence Day – celebrating Belize’s independence in 1981. You’ll see red, white and blue everywhere. Flags flying from homes and golf carts and throughout town.
Here is the official San Pedro schedule of Events:
Belize Weather in SEPTEMBER
Here is how September usually goes:
September temperatures are quite warm – hot and humid- across Belize. Temperatures will generally be in the mid to high-80s but feel warmer due to the heavy tropical humidity. “Rainy season” is here but that does not mean rain every day.
Usually we get the heavier rains in the night/very early morning (like before 9am). There can be daytime rains as well but often they are just passovers – and the sun will be out quickly. There can be rainy days but the sunny days will outweigh the rainy.
June 1st is the official start of the Hurricane Season in the Caribbean. Generally, our part of the Caribbean (SW) seems more systems forming in the later season – August to October – so you are going to want to check the National Hurricane Center for updates. It is a time of year where travel insurance might be worth it.
If there is a tropical storm watch or warning issued, that can give you some additional options to get reimbursed or credited. (We can go years without an watches issued, but earlier this year with Beryl, we had a tropical storm watch issued for early July – the storm missed us, veering up towards Tulum and Playa Del Carmen)
Don’t worry – there will be PLENTY of sun. Pack LOTS of high SPF sunblock and a can or two of bug spray or lotion for the early mornings and evenings. (I recommend this brand because it’s not greasy, don’t stink and REALLY works) Here is my Amazon storefront (definitely a work in progress) with some of my favorite items to pack for a comfortable trip.
While you are taking more of a risk with the weather during this time (as compared to reliably sunny, rain-free January thru April), you can take advantage of Slow Season Discounts at many hotels, lower prices on airfare and…BIG CELEBRATIONS!
An additional consideration. Some businesses will close for a few weeks in September and/or October to renovate and give staff a bit of vacation time. Here is a list of businesses that I know will be taking some time off in September.
- Blue Bayou At Secret Beach – Closed Sept 2 for 2 weeks
- Blue Water Grill – Re-opens October 1st
- Briana’s Deli – Closed September 10th, re-opening September 22nd
- Caramba’s Restaurant – Closed September 17th, reopening October 10th
- Mata Chica Resort – Closed Until October 2nd
- The Purple Pelican Restaurant – re-opening September 11th
- Red Ginger and the Phoenix Resort – Reopens September 28th
- Truck Stop will be closed from Sept 8 to September 24
Here is a day by day calendar to get you to all the fun stuff on Ambergris Caye. I suggest you double check with the businesses (check their FB pages) to confirm events. It is the slow season!
