Independence Day of Panama (28/11)

Panama — is the undisputed record holder for the number of Independence Days. Having celebrated Independence Day from Colombia on November 3, a week later Panamanians celebrated the Day of the First Declaration of Independence. And on the calendar is the final date in a series of holidays of independence of Panama — Independence Day from Spain, which is celebrated annually on November 28.

On this day in 1821, Panama declared independence from Spain and immediately entered Greater Colombia, formed by Simon Bolivar, a state that was located on the territory of several modern Latin American countries.

Panamanians compensated for their passivity in winning independence with an abundance of celebrations — every Independence Day is celebrated in an unusually colorful and grand manner. Naturally, Independence Day from Spain — is no exception. The abundance of state symbols on the streets of cities, solemn processions, carnival costumes, music, dancing — all this creates a unique atmosphere of wide celebration.
