Independence Day celebrations are held every
on the
18th February of each
year which marks the day when Gambia gained full independence from
colonial
Britain in 1964.
The country had gained internal
self-government earlier in 1963. It is
normally celebrated in Banjul at McCarthy Square
with a march pass by school children, civil servants, the army,
teachers and others in front of the President and other dignitaries.
