A day for the visible care people give to entrances, porches, shopfronts, courtyards, sidewalks, and shared spaces.
Commemorates the establishment of the Seychelles as a republic in 1976 (within the Commonwealth) and again as a one-party state in 1979, and finally as a multi-party republic in 1993. The AHA! moment: the Seychelles has been independent, then a one-party state, then a multi-party democracy. The transition happened without bloodshed, which is unusual in African politics and is a source of quiet pride.
