Panama Independence Day / Separation Day
Panama Independence Day / Separation Day is held on November 3. Celebrates the separation and independence of Panama from Colombia in 1903. This event in the first decade of the month November is annual.
Aside from their struggles to have their own self-governed country, Panama was a key factor in worldwide trade and commerce. The Independence Day of Panama has a complex history that led to this country having two major national days, November 3rd and 28th, and a month full of celebrations and Panamanian pride.
Panama is the only place in the world where you can see the sun rise on the Pacific and set on the Atlantic. The canal generates fully one-third of Panama's entire economy. "A man, a plan, a canal; Panama." is a palindrome. Panama was the first Latin American country to adopt the U.S. currency as its own.
