Fet Nasyonal
The Seychelles' national day celebrates the anniversary of independence from Britain on June 29, 1976. The celebrations include a military parade, a presidential address, cultural performances, and a fireworks display over Victoria harbor. The AHA! moment: the Seychelles gained independence without a war, without a revolution, and without a single shot fired. The British left, the Seychellois took over, and the flag went up. The transition was so smooth that some people missed it.
