And while that was the ceremonial opening, those who really follow September celebrations - will know that the September Season really begins when the Queen of the Bay is selected.
That happened on Saturday when The 67th Annual Queen of the Bay was held at the Birds Isle.
After more than 3 hours of competition, Yadira Argueta, the representative from Stann Creek was crowned the new queen.
2nd place was Ivory Mendez, Queen of the Bay, Corozal; 3rd was Gorlee Marin, Miss Caribbean Sea, representing Flower's House.
There was one more queen selected this weekend - and that was the King and Queen of Carnival. We were at that event - and will have a full recap in tomorrow night's newscast.
