Dec
Goa Liberation Day is celebrated on December 20th every year. This special day marks the time when Goa, a small state in India, became free from Portuguese rule in 1961. Before that, Portugal, a country in Europe, had controlled Goa for over 400 years. Indian soldiers helped make Goa part of India again. On this day, people in Goa remember and honor those who fought for their freedom and celebrate with events and parades. It's like a big birthday party for Goa's independence, showing how important freedom is to everyone in the state.
How to celebrate Goa Liberation Day?
Start the day by waving flags and decorating your house with colorful lights. Listen to traditional Goan music with your family and dance to the joyful tunes. Try making or buying delicious Goan food like fish curry and bebinca for lunch or dinner. In the evening, join local parades or watch them online, cheering along as you clap and smile. You can also learn and share stories about Goa's culture with friends. End the day by watching fireworks light up the sky, feeling grateful and happy. Don't forget to take lots of pictures to remember the fun day!
