National Day
February 25, Tuesday
Why was this date chosen?
Emir Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah became the ruler of Kuwait on February 25, 1950. Initially, Independence Day was celebrated on June 19, but it was later moved to February to avoid the intense heat typical of June. Since then, February 25 has become the official date of the national celebration.

* City streets are decorated with flags, garlands, and portraits of the Emir
* Parades, concerts, theatrical and dance performances take place
* Schools and universities organize themed events, quizzes, and exhibitions
* Citizens arrange picnics and family outings
* Fireworks are launched in the evenings
Symbolism and significance of the holiday
