Comoros National Day
Comoros National Day is celebrated on July 6th every year to commemorate the country’s independence from France in 1975. The day is marked by a presidential address and celebrations that honor their cultures, such as showcasing their traditional dance, food, and music. Festivals in Comoros are often tied to religious observances, particularly Islamic celebrations that follow the lunar calendar. Comoros has established a National Committee for Intangible Cultural Heritage to preserve and promote their cultural heritage. On National Day, concerts, fireworks, and cultural events are held to celebrate the country’s independence and rich cultural heritage.
