Sri Lanka Independence Day is one of the most important national days in the country. Celebrated every year on February 4, it marks the day Sri Lanka regained its freedom from British colonial rule. In 2026, the nation proudly celebrates 78 years of independence, honoring the sacrifices, struggles, and unity that shaped the country’s journey to sovereignty.
On this day, Sri Lankans remember the leaders, freedom fighters, and communities who worked tirelessly to achieve self-rule after more than 400 years of foreign colonial influence.
