Greek Parade Athens 25/03/1821-25/03/2022-Greek Independence Day

In celebration of Greek Independence Day, towns and villages throughout Greece hold a school flag parade, during which schoolchildren march in traditional Greek costume and carry Greek flags. There are also armed forces parades, the biggest one takes place in Athens. The entire world will turn Greek to mark Greece’s bicentennial, commemorating 200 years since the declaration of its War of Independence. In every corner of the globe where members of the Greek Diaspora are present, the anniversary will be marked. Iconic landmarks in all of those countries will be illuminated in blue and white in honour of the Greek people and their struggle for freedom 200 years ago.
