A day celebrating the Panama Canal and its role in global maritime trade. While not an official holiday, schools and civic organizations use the day to educate the public about the canal's history, from the failed French attempt in the 1880s to the successful American construction and finally the full Panamanian control that began in 2000. The Miraflores Visitors Center at the canal locks hosts special exhibitions and the observation deck is free to the public.
