Peru Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 28.07.2022 16:15  Date: July 28, 2022 Today’s Doodle honors Peru’s independence from Spain, which the country celebrates with a two-day observance called Las Fiestas Patrias. On this day in 1821, Argentinian commander Jose San Martín entered the Plaza de Armas in Peru’s capital of Lima and declared sovereignty. However, independence wasn’t fully achieved until 1824, when Jose San Martín joined Simon Bolivar and Antonio Jose de Sucre to secure lasting liberty. The evening before the festivities begin, Criolla and reggaeton music fill the streets and by midnight, fireworks are crackling across the sky. Patriotic celebrations commence on July 28 with a ceremony that raises Peru’s national flag, like the one featured in today’s Doodle. During the second day of celebrations, a military parade honors the Armed Forces and the National Police of Peru. The main event takes place in the Plaza De Armas, where the president delivers a speech reviewing the past year’s progress. In most plazas around the nation, music plays, people dance and food trucks serve traditional dishes like ceviche, chicharron and papas rellenas . ¡Feliz Bicentenario de la Independencia, Perú!
