Madeira Day or Dia da Madeira (also Dia da Região Autónoma da Madeira or Dia da Região), celebrated in Madeira on 1 July, is a holiday marking the date when Portugal granted autonomy to Madeira. Although it is only officially celebrated in Madeira, Portuguese citizens and also Portuguese immigrants throughout the world celebrate this holiday.
The 1st of July recalls the generally recognized date of the discovery of the island of Madeira by the Portuguese, in 1419, a year after they found Porto Santo.
The holiday is celebrated throughout the Region with launches of rockets and fireworks, a ceremony at the Legislative Assembly, laying of flowers on the statue of Autonomy by the region's official entities and a Te Deum mass in the Cathedral of Funchal.
