Why Grenada’s Independence Day Matters
Grenada’s Independence Day, celebrated on February 7th, marks the day in 1974 when the nation gained freedom from British colonial rule. This day is a reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity of the Grenadian people. Known as the "Spice Isle" for its production of nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices, Grenada has made a lasting impact on the world through its culture, cuisine, and contributions to the global community.
