Independence Day in Uganda marks the day in 1962 when Uganda gained independence from British colonial rule, becoming a sovereign nation after nearly 70 years under British administration.

The Day of the Valencian Community commemorates both the 1238 conquest of Valencia by James I of Aragon and the region’s modern Statute of Autonomy (1982). It blends solemn civic traditions with festive customs such as the Mocadorà, making it both a patriotic and popular holiday.
