CNMI Liberation Day Committee Opens Call for Participation in 78th Liberation Day Festivities

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
Liberation Day Committee is excited to announce the opening of applications for Royal Court
Candidates, Parade Participants, and Food Vendors for the upcoming 78th Liberation Day
celebrations.

This year holds special significance as it is not only an annual event commemorating the
liberation of the CNMI, but this year commemorates the 80th anniversary of the historic Battle of
Saipan and Tinian, pivotal events during World War II. Liberation Day serves as a poignant
reminder of the sacrifices made and the resilience shown by the people of the Northern Mariana
Islands during this tumultuous period in history.

This year, the festivities are scheduled to take place from June 15 to July 6, 2024, promising
weeks of vibrant celebrations, cultural displays, and community spirit. Your CNMI Liberation
Day Committee invites all interested individuals to participate in various capacities:

• Royal Court Candidates: As a cornerstone of the Liberation Day celebrations, the Royal
  Court plays a crucial role in honoring CNMI’s rich cultural heritage. Interested candidates
  are encouraged to apply and showcase their cultural pride and leadership qualities.
