And so, the park will be ready for September ninth - but not before that - meaning that a few of the events which are usually staged there will now be moved to other locations.
The September Celebrations Calendar was released yesterday and it features all of the usual official events such as the official launch of the Celebrations on September second at St. George's Caye.
But the fun begins before that - with the National Patriotic and Carnival Song Competition on this Saturday, August 25th at the MCC Grounds.
Co-Chair of the Celebrations Commission Dianne Haylock outlined some of the more festive events for us:..
Dianne Haylock, Co-Chair of the Celebrations Commission
"The first activity really is the national song competition which takes place this coming Saturday at the MCC Grounds; that is the national patriotic and carnival song competition. People have made their submissions in the patriotic category as well as the carnival category. That includes juniors and seniors. So that takes place at 7 this Saturday 25th August at MCC Grounds."
"The first of September also at the MCC Grounds is the carnival king and queen competition. Carnival is on the 8th September at the usual time at 1pm starting from Yabra going all the way up to BTL Park."
"I'd like to share with people the theme of this year's celebration which is "Many faces, many dreams, one goal celebrating Belize." I think that is what we as a people and as a country represent."
