Today, July 21st, is Liberation Day on the island of Guam and marks 66 years of liberation for the island;  it is also an official holiday for Guam with most businesses and government agencies closed for the celebration of our island’s freedom.  The major event happening on the island is the Guam Liberation Day Parade which takes place on Marine Corps Drive starting at Adelup and ending in Hagatna near Paseo.  This year’s Liberation Day Parade will start at 10am, but some pre-parade activities will take place a little before the parade starts.  In addition to the Liberation Day Parade there will also be a fireworks show at the Guam Liberation Carnival in Paseo which starts at 9pm.

Everyone is invited to partake in all the events, entertainment and festivities happening this Liberation Day!  We wish everyone a safe and happy Liberation Day on the island of Guam!

It’s that time of year again for the island of Guam to celebrate it’s liberation!  This past week the 2010 Guam Liberation Carnival opened up at Paseo in the village of Hagatna.  The carnival grounds are located in the largest of all the parking lots around the Paseo Stadium.  This year the carnival celebrates the 66th year of Guam’s liberation with the theme for this year being “Honoring Our Heroes”.

The Guam Liberation Carnival is open to all island residents and visitors to Guam;  everyone is invited to come down to Paseo and enjoy fun-filled evenings of food, games, entertainment, music and carnival rides.  Something special and unique people can expect with this year’s carnival is a fireworks show on the 4th of July;  the last time the Guam Liberation Carnival had a fireworks show on the 4th of July was 10 years ago, so this is a great past traditional event which has returned to the carnival this year.

The Guam Liberation Day Carnival will be open every day until August 1st during the evening hours.  It closes at 2am every night.  The carnival is a great annual family-oriented event so if you have time come on down and enjoy the festivities with the rest of the island of Guam!
