| About Independence |
| 5th of November, Colon DaY. It is celebrated on November 5th each year. November 10th is the day that Panamanians remember the ‘uprising in Villa Los Santos’. On this date in 1821 the citizens of Los Santos in Panama’s southernmost province declared their independence from Spain. They preempted Panama City’s decision to become independent of the colonial power. However, the declaration urged Panama City to act. A meeting was held in the capital city and the decision was made for Panama to formally declare its independence on November 28th that same year. Panama became part of Colombia just a few weeks later. This is a celebration for schools and marching bands - Children, youth and professional band members are the ones who keep this tradition alive otherwise it serves no purpose. |
