(CMR) Following the reinstatement of Emancipation Day for 2024, the Cayman Islands will celebrate two major public holidays in May.
Cabinet has decided that in addition to the reinstatement of the Emancipation Day holiday as the first Monday in May, Discovery Day will continue to be celebrated on the third Monday of the same month.
Emancipation Day was previously observed in the Cayman Islands before being replaced with the Constitution Day holiday by the Legislative Assembly in the 1960’s. The reinstatement of this day as a national day of observance was done following research and examination of a number of concerns related to Cayman’s cultural heritage.
