Miramar to host Belize Day 2026 and mobile passport hub

The City of Miramar will welcome Belizean government officials, business leaders, cultural ambassadors and community members in July for Miramar Belize Day 2026, a multi-day initiative celebrating the sister city partnership between Miramar and Belize City while providing essential government services and strengthening cultural and economic ties with the Belizean diaspora.

From July 9–11, Belize’s Immigration and Vital Statistics Department will operate a Mobile Passport and Vital Statistics Hub in Miramar, allowing Belizean nationals and their descendants to access services that would normally require international travel.

The mobile hub will provide services including passport renewals, nationality applications, birth and marriage certificates, adoption records and other citizenship-related documentation.

“Miramar Belize Day 2026 reflects the power of international partnerships to create meaningful economic opportunities, strengthen cultural connections, and support our diverse community,” said Anita Taylor, director of economic development for the City of Miramar.

“Through our Sister City relationship with Belize City, we are fostering new pathways for trade, tourism, investment, and entrepreneurship while ensuring that Belizean families in South Florida have access to essential government services. This initiative demonstrates how local collaboration can have a global impact.”

The initiative will culminate on Saturday, July 11, with Miramar Belize Day, a day-long celebration at Miramar City Hall highlighting Belizean culture, tourism, business opportunities, education and community partnerships.

The event will feature authentic Belizean cuisine, cultural performances, artisan vendors, tourism and investment exhibits, STEM demonstrations, youth activities, community resources and networking opportunities aimed at encouraging future collaboration between Belize and South Florida.
