Republic Proclamation Day, observed on November 15, marks the anniversary of the day in 1889 when Brazil's last emperor, Dom Pedro II, was overthrown and the country transitioned from an empire to a republic. The coup was led by Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, who became the first president of the newly established Federative Republic of Brazil.
Traditionally, Republic Proclamation Day is celebrated with patriotic parades and military ceremonies throughout Brazil. In the capital city of Brasília, a significant ceremony often takes place at the Praça dos Três Poderes with the presence of civil and military authorities.
On this national holiday, many Brazilians enjoy a day off work as banks, schools, and government offices are closed. People may attend local events or use the time to relax with family and friends. Some take advantage of the long weekend for short trips if the holiday falls near a weekend.
Despite its historical significance, Republic Proclamation Day does not typically involve as extensive or festive celebrations as other Brazilian holidays like Carnival or Independence Day. Nonetheless, it remains an important date in Brazil's national calendar commemorating a pivotal moment in its history.
