Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A United Nations observance focused on participation, institutions, rights, and public life.
A day for trees, awnings, courtyards, verandas, porches, fans, and the practical genius of escaping heat.
Panama shares this day with the rest of Central America, commemorating the 1821 independence from Spain. While Panama did not gain full independence on this date (it declared independence on November 28, 1821), the day is still observed in schools with civic ceremonies and flag raisings. The shared history with Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador is remembered in cultural events across the country.
