Overview
About the event
Falklands Day began as a celebration of the first recorded sighting of the Falkland Islands. English explorer John Davis spotted the islands in 1592, marking the start of their documented history.
Davis�??s journey laid the foundation for future exploration and settlement.
The tradition of celebrating Falklands Day likely started in the late 19th or early 20th century. The islanders initiated it to honor their unique heritage. For many years, the day they were served as the national day of the Falkland Islands, reflecting their pride and connection to the land.
Originally, Falklands Day was the main public holiday. In 2002, the focus shifted to Liberation Day, commemorating the end of the Falklands War.
