What is Liberation Day?
After 5 long years of being occupied by German forces during WWII, Jersey was liberated by the British on 9th May 1945. This is celebrated each year as the Island's national holiday: Liberation Day. The Government of Jersey organises a commemoration service and festivities including live bands, performances, dancing, and stalls in the centre of St. Helier.
