Greek Independence Day Celebrations Nationwide

Greek Independence Day Celebrated with Grand Parades and Patriotic Fervor

Athens, Greece – March 25, 2024

Greece commemorated the 203rd anniversary of its independence from Ottoman rule today with nationwide celebrations, military parades, and cultural events. The day marks the start of the Greek War of Independence in 1821, a pivotal moment in the country’s history that led to the establishment of the modern Greek state.

In Athens, the festivities were led by President Katerina Sakellaropoulou and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who attended a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square. A grand military parade followed, featuring marching soldiers, armored vehicles, and a flyover by Hellenic Air Force jets, drawing cheers from thousands of spectators waving blue-and-white Greek flags.

'This day reminds us of the courage and sacrifice of our ancestors who fought for freedom,' said Mitsotakis in a televised address. 'Their legacy inspires us to uphold the values of democracy and national unity.'

Similar celebrations took place across the country, including in Thessaloniki, Crete, and the islands, where schoolchildren dressed in traditional costumes performed dances and recited poems honoring Greek heroes like Theodoros Kolokotronis and Laskarina Bouboulina.

The diaspora also joined in, with Greek communities in New York, Melbourne, and London organizing parades and cultural exhibitions. In a symbolic gesture, the White House in the United States and other global landmarks were illuminated in blue and white in solidarity with Greece.

As night fell, fireworks lit up the Acropolis, capping off a day of national pride and remembrance. For Greeks worldwide, March 25 remains not just a historical milestone, but a vibrant celebration of identity and resilience.
