Guam Liberation Day is celebrated on July 21 every year.

It is a day to commemorate the island’s liberation from the Japanese by U.S. Soldiers. In years where July 21 falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday will be a public holiday, and if July 21 falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be a public holiday. It is marked as one of Guam’s biggest celebrations as the invasion of the Japanese in World War II brought agony to the people of Guam and remained so for years. Many lives were lost during that period. Guam Liberation day is celebrated to remember those who fought for their freedom and died. Gaum Liberation Day is now celebrated with religious and memorial services, the Liberation queen contest, a carnival, and a parade.
