Independent Czechoslovak State Day, celebrated on October 28th, marks the anniversary of the independence of Czechoslovakia from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. After World War I and the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the Czechs and Slovaks joined together to form a new nation. This day commemorates the significant moment when the Czechoslovak National Council declared independence in Prague, leading to the establishment of a sovereign state.
The day is one of several public holidays in the Czech Republic and is observed with various official ceremonies and cultural events. Traditionally, political leaders make speeches, and there are military parades. Wreaths are often laid at monuments dedicated to important figures in Czech history, such as Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, who became the first President of Czechoslovakia.
Flags are prominently displayed on public buildings, and many citizens also display them at their homes.
