Independence Day

Grenada's Independence Day is celebrated on February 7th to commemorate the country's independence from colonial domination. The military parade at Tanteen is the official highlight, but the real fun begins when you dance into the night with the locals at one of the many beach parties.

If Grenada's Independence Day comes on a Saturday, the following Monday is not a holiday. Colorful parades and ceremonial festivities mark the occasion in cities around the country. People dress up, visit their loved ones, celebrate, and reflect on their fight for independence. Grenada's shops, schools, and banks are closed on Independence Day. Tourists flock to Grenada to take part in the festivities.
