                          About Public Holidays in Nicaragua

                          Nicaragua's Independence Day (September 15) is shared with several Central American neighbors that jointly broke from Spain in 1821. The Battle of San Jacinto (September 14) is marked the day before, commemorating an 1856 victory against American filibuster William Walker's forces, a specific and locally significant historical event less known outside the region.
