July 19

Every July 19, Nicaragua observes Sandinista Day (Liberation Day) to mark the triumph of the Sandinista National Liberation Front over the Somoza regime. This historic victory ended decades of authoritarian rule and ushered in significant social and political reforms. Festivities include parades, political rallies, cultural performances, and tributes at memorial sites. Organizations and communities reflect on the revolution's goals of social justice, land reform, and national sovereignty. The day remains a focal point for discussions on Nicaragua's contemporary challenges and aspirations. It highlights the enduring legacy of the revolution in shaping Nicaraguan identity and policy.
