Cambodia Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 22.11.2023 08:15  Date: November 9, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Cambodia’s Independence Day. On this day in 1953, the Southeast-Asian country signed its Declaration of Independence, officially becoming a free nation after a century of French and Japanese rule. The capital city of Phnom Penh hosts the biggest Independence Day celebrations. Cambodians gather for a formal ceremony at the base of the towering Independence Monument where public officials give speeches. Later, marching bands and festive floats parade through downtown and in front of the Royal Palace. At night, the Royal Palace and other government buildings are illuminated with the national colors of red and blue — just like the flag in today’s Doodle. Families might enjoy national dishes like samlar machu kroeung and beef loc lac before they watch fireworks fill the night sky. Happy Independence Day, Cambodia! Location: Tags:
