Venezuela Independence Day 2022
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Venezuela Independence Day, also known as Cinco de Julio, which commemorates the signing of the 1811 Venezuelan Declaration of Independence. The Declaration, housed in the nation's capital, Caracas, establishes Venezuela's sovereignty from Spain.
Independence Day begins with a TV address that includes a speech from the president. Afterwards, a military Independence Day parade takes place in the heart of Caracas. The festivities include an exciting arrangement of military drills, sporting events, and musical performances.
Whether people are in Venezuela chanting in parades or gathering with family and friends around the TV, Cinco de Julio brings people together to celebrate the country’s history and traditions.
¡Feliz Cinco de Julio, Venezuela!
