Honduran Independence Day is celebrated on September 15 each year. This day marks the anniversary of Honduras' independence from Spanish rule in 1821. It is part of a larger celebration in Central America, as several countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, also gained independence on the same date. The day is marked by various festivities, including parades, cultural events, and traditional music. Schools and communities participate in activities that showcase Honduran heritage and pride. The celebration emphasizes national unity and remembrance of the struggles for freedom.
