July 28 in each year commemorates the day that Peru gained its independence. General José de San Martín, known as Peru's liberator, proclaimed Peru's independence on this date. At dawn on the 28th, a 21-cannon salute begins flag-raising ceremonies as Peru remembers the anniversary of its independence.
Every year, on July 28, in Peru, we commemorate the historic day we gained independence. This significant event was marked by General José de San Martín, revered as Peru's liberator, who officially proclaimed our country's independence on this date. As the morning breaks on the 28th, the nation begins its celebration with a grand 21-cannon salute, followed by solemn flag-raising ceremonies, honouring the anniversary of Peru's hard-won freedom.
