Revolution Day
National holiday. On July 22, 1994, a group of young army officers led by Yahya Jammeh overthrew the government. The day has been a holiday ever since. The military parade in Banjul. The speeches. The flags. The history is complicated. The day off is not. Every Gambian treats it as a day to stay home, cook domoda, and let the politicians talk.
Regional/Cultural Day
Gambia Tool Drawer Day
A day for the drawer that has three almost-right screws, old batteries, tape, string, and the answer to a small emergency.
Regional/Cultural Day
