Liberation Day is a holiday observed annually on March 3rd in Bulgaria and goes by the official name of the Bulgarian Day of Liberation from the Ottoman Empire. As the name suggests, this holiday honors all those who helped to liberate Bulgaria from nearly five centuries of Ottoman rule.

This holiday is marked by observances and celebrations across Bulgaria. These celebrations include everything from reenactments of famous battles to church services and memorial services for fallen soldiers—particularly those at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
