Argentina Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 09.07.2023 08:30  Date: July 9, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Argentina's Independence Day, or 9 de julio. On this day in 1816, the Congress of Tucumán declared its freedom from Spain. Today’s Doodle artwork features Casa de Tucumáan where the declaration was signed. Many cities throughout the country have a street named in independence day’s honor. Buenos Aires hosts the most popular parades on Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world. People gather for parades and concerts, and enjoy national dishes. Vendors line the street to sell dishes like fried pastries called pastelitos and locro – a thick stew with white corn, sweet potatoes, and squash. Today, many Argentines wave their sky-blue and white national flag, with a central golden sun. The sun references the beginning of the independence revolution in May 1810, when it's believed the sun shined through the clouds. Happy Independence Day, Argentina! Location: Tags:
