                          About Public Holidays in Haiti

                          Haiti's Independence Day (January 1) uniquely doubles as a national dish celebration - soup joumou (pumpkin soup), historically forbidden to enslaved people under French colonial rule, is eaten nationwide that day as a specific act of remembrance, a food-and-holiday connection recognized by UNESCO. Ancestors' Day (January 2) extends the observance to a two-day start to the year.
