Bolivia Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 06.08.2023 12:15  Date: August 6, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Bolivian Independence Day. On this day in 1825, Bolivians concluded a 16-year war with Spain by signing the Declaration of Independence. Independence Day kicks off with vibrant street parades in cities like Sucre and La Paz, which at more than 3,500m above sea level, is the highest national capital in the world. After military demonstrations and speeches by public officials, many enjoy picante de pollo, a national dish featuring fried chicken and boiled potatoes. Bolivians attend open-air concerts and dance into the night. On this national holiday, Bolivia’s flag, like the one flying in today’s Doodle, decorates homes and buildings throughout the country. Its design features Bolivia’s coat of arms atop three horizontal lines. Red represents the nation’s fight for independence, yellow symbolizes the country’s extensive mineral resources, and green stands for its beautiful landscapes. Happy Independence Day, Bolivia!
