King’s Birthday in Lesotho is celebrated annually on July 17th to honor the birth of the current monarch, King Letsie III. While the monarchy in Lesotho is largely symbolic with minimal actual authority, the formal birthday celebrations of the king are a significant public event. Since 2003, these celebrations have been rotated across the country, providing locals with the opportunity to partake in the event and sample diverse cultural delicacies from various regions of Lesotho.
