The celebration of the Greek Revolution of 1821, Cyprus and Greek diaspora takes place on 25th March every year, coinciding with the Feast of the Annunciation.

The day is a public holiday in Greece and Cyprus.

 Usually celebrations include parades and other celebratory events on the same day or its eve. 

The largest event is the military parade in Athens on 25th March, while on the previous day, celebrations take place throughout the schools of the country. 

In other municipalities, parades of military divisions, students, clubs, etc. are held, as well as church services.

More broadly, the holiday acknowledges the successful Greek War of Independence (1821–1829) was fought to liberate and decolonize Greece from four centuries of Ottoman occupation. 

After nine years of war, Greece was finally recognized as an independent state under the London Protocol of February 1830. 

Further negotiations in 1832 led to the London Conference of 1832 and the Treaty of Constantinople (1832); these defined the final borders of the new state and recognized the king.

The holiday was established in 1838 with a Royal Decree by King Otto's government.
