Independence Day in El Salvador commemorates the country’s independence from Spanish rule, achieved in 1821. The struggle for independence began in the early 19th century, influenced by other colonial liberation movements in the Americas. El Salvador initially became part of the Mexican Empire under Agustín de Iturbide and later joined the United Provinces of Central America before ultimately becoming a sovereign nation.
On Independence Day, Salvadorans engage in various activities that honor their national history and culture. - Citizens attend official ceremonies led by government officials. - Families gather for traditional meals featuring Salvadoran cuisine such as pupusas (stuffed tortillas) and tamales. - Schoolchildren often dress in traditional costumes and perform dances or recite poems about independence.
The day is marked by a sense of national pride and reflection on El Salvador's journey to sovereignty.
