The Trinidad and Tobago Independence Day is marked on August 31 every year as a day to commemorate the freedom of the nation. Trinidad and Tobago is a dual-island Caribbean nation. It is the southernmost Caribbean nation. Together, both islands are known as the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The nation was initially under the rule of the U.K. To celebrate the nation’s independence, there are parades, songs, and dances that will form part of the official and unofficial events of the day. The Governor-General is going to be present to witness the national-level events. Let us also be part of this great day.
National Heroes Day of Philippines
The National Heroes of Philippines Day is celebrated on August 25. The day is celebrated by the Filipino people to honor and remember all the heroes of the revolution who helped to establish the foundation for the country’s independence. Freedom to choose one’s own country is one of the most important qualities that every country should have. The Philippines did not have that freedom or national identity. But thanks to the efforts of national heroes like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo, and Apolinario Mabini, they created a national identity and started working towards the dream of independence.
Melon Day
Melon Day takes place on the second Sunday in August. This year, it takes place on August 10. On this special day, we celebrate cantaloupes, galias, and all the other muskmelons, specifically those belonging to the people of Turkmenistan. If you’re like us, you may have confused watermelons for melons at least once in your life, however, these two fruits are very different even though they stem from the same family. Melons, particularly muskmelons, have an important agricultural heritage and are the pride of the people of Turkmenistan, a country located in Central Asia. Today, they honor not only their well-groomed muskmelons but a fine crossbreed, named after their first president, the Turkmenbashi melon.
