Venezuela Independence Day


Venezuela Independence Day is celebrated annually on July 5, commemorating its history as the first independent country in South America. Today we remember Venezuela’s role as a leader of popular resistance and the Latin American independence movement. A day to honour visionaries such as Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Miranda, whose bravery flew in the face of the mighty Spanish empire. Songs, legends, and shrines still abound in their name. Despite unspeakable violence and atrocities on both sides, the patriots secured Venezuelan independence in 1821 after decades of resistance.
