Barbados Independence Day
After having been a British colony since the 17th century, Barbados became independent on this day in 1966. A ceremony took place near the capital city of Bridgetown, during which the British flag was lowered and replaced by the Barbados flag, and the national anthem was sung.

On Independence Day, festivities include exhibits of art work and photography and culminate with a parade and the final appearance of performers. More… Discuss
