According to Belize publication, Lovefm, The Belize Carnival Association has officially launched this year’s carnival season. It is claimed that this season will be much better organized, and will be affiliated with the National Institute of Culture and History. Funded by the Belize Tourism Board, Traveler’s Liquors Limited, the Protected Areas Conservation Trust, Angelus Press Limited, and Tenchtronics, the carnival season also has a theme song has been written by Kenny G and the New Creation Band, and is called “Jump Fi Carnival”.
On top of that, there will be seven senior bands, five junior bands, and two non-competitive bands, making it the biggest turn-out yet. Not only that, but the cash prizes have increased, and trophies, in order to top last year’s carnival. Though the date for the carnival isn’t until September 8th, the Carnival Association is still looking for business to fund the bands themselves, so that they won’t need to foot the bill.
