The story

Made in Belize Expo in Belmopan

Belmopan's Sir George Brown Park turns into a market of dozens of vendor booths each May for this Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry trade show, now running since 2018 and drawing more than ninety exhibitors selling Belizean-made food, crafts and household goods. Awards for Best Booth and standout entrepreneurs run alongside the browsing format. Built around the slogan Buy in Belize, Build Belize, it functions as a national trade fair rather than a cultural or musical festival.

The Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry launched this trade show in 2018 to give small and medium Belizean businesses a single venue to reach customers directly, and the event has run annually since, typically landing in Belmopan each May at Sir George Brown Park along the South Ring Road.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This event distinguishes itself from Belize's music- and parade-based festivals by function: it is a genuine trade fair built to strengthen the domestic market for Belizean-made goods, not a heritage or religious celebration, and its 2018 founding by the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry reflects that commercial mission directly

02

The mystery stays covered

Competitive categories, Best Booth, Most Outstanding Female, Male and Youth Entrepreneur, and Most Eco-Friendly Product, give small business owners genuine recognition rather than treating the expo as pure spectator entertainment

03

The city starts moving

Hosting the event in Belmopan, the seat of government, rather than a coastal tourism town, adds a civic dimension that ties the expo to national economic policy as much as to consumer shopping
