Dominican Republic Independence Day 2024

Google Dooles 27.02.2024 06:30  Date: February 27, 2024 Today’s annual Doodle celebrates Independence Day in the Dominican Republic, a public holiday that honors the nation’s journey to freedom. On this day in 1844, a group called La Trinitaria started a movement that fought for the country’s sovereignty. Led by writer and activist Juan Pablo Duarte, who is widely regarded as the father of the Dominican Republic, La Trinitaria seized their moment against foreign occupants at Puerto del Conde. Once atop the fort, Duarte raised the blue, red, and white flag high in the sky — just like in today’s artwork. On Independence Day, people across the country gather with loved ones and show off their patriotic pride. The holiday also happens during Carnaval de la Vega, a month-long celebration in February, which only adds to the festive mood. Many wear vibrant costumes and flashy masks while enjoying traditional delicacies like bacalao and mangu . Happy Independence Day, Dominican Republic! Location: Tags:
