Kosrae Constitution Day

Kosrae Constitution Day is a holiday celebrated in the Federated Nations of Micronesia's Kosrae, one of the four sovereign states. It is celebrated on the 11th of January every year to commemorate the creation of the Kosrae Constitution in 1984. This constitution has a preamble and sixteen articles that outline the people of Kosrae's rights and freedoms.

In Kosrae, this occasion is commemorated by students learning more about the constitution, performing traditional song and dance, and sharing meals with friends and family. Other events, such as sporting activities, fishing tournaments, or wrestling fights, may also take place on this day.

It has been revised four times since its inception. It's a holiday marked by music, dancing, and cooking with some of the island's native citrus fruits and crops. Everything from breadfruit and bananas to crabs, seafood, pork, and chicken can be found in these dishes.
