Independence Celebrations
Panama is very proud of their independence so much so that they celebrate it several days in the year. The first day celebrates its independence from Spain, as it used to be an ancient Iberian crown colony. This is celebrated on November 28th. The year of independence from Spain is 1821. Then, on November 3rd, they celebrate the declaration of independence of Panama from Colombia, which was made in 1903, which was an important state, with the working canal, and they received assistance from the then president of the USA Theodore Roosevelt. Also like other holidays, there is the flag day, on 4th of November, the day after the declaration of independence of Colombia, or the day of the constitution in 1946, which is March 1st, and the anniversary of the revolution on October 11th (1968), which is also Columbus Day.
