Venezuela Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 05.07.2023 08:16  Date: July 5, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Venezuela’s Independence Day. On this day in 1811, the country’s delegates formally decided to pursue freedom from Spanish rule. After a decade of struggle, it became the first independent nation in South America. In 1953, Venezuela organized a week of celebrations like military parades and sporting events in the capital city of Caracas, and the tradition continues to this day. Harps fill the air with traditional music called Joropo for Venezuelans to dance along to, and snacks like arepas—cornmeal cakes filled with ham and cheese are enjoyed by many. Today, many citizens wear the patriotic colors of yellow, blue, and red. Depicted in today’s artwork, the national flag features an arc of eight white stars atop horizontal stripes. In 2006, Venezuela added an eighth star to represent the historical province of Guayana. Happy Independence Day, Venezuela! Location: Tags:
