Anniversary of the Birthday of the Sovereign in Tuvalu
The Anniversary of the Birthday of the Sovereign in Tuvalu is a public holiday that celebrates the birthday of the reigning British monarch. Given Tuvalu's historical ties to Britain, it has kept this tradition even after gaining independence in 1978.
History and Traditions:
The holiday was originally established to celebrate the birthday of King George V.
After gaining independence, Tuvalu chose to continue celebrating the British monarch’s birthday as a symbol of its Commonwealth ties and historical relationship with Britain.
When Queen Elizabeth II was the reigning monarch, her official birthday in June (typically the second Saturday) was marked in Tuvalu, despite her actual birthday being on April 21st.
What People Do:
Various activities and ceremonies are organized to mark this occasion.
The day may include military parades, award ceremonies, and cultural performances that reflect Tuvaluan traditions.
Community feasting and traditional dances are common ways for locals to celebrate.
It is also a day off for many workers and an opportunity for families to gather.
With King Charles III now on the throne, future celebrations will likely adjust dates according to when his official birthday is designated.
