Emancipation Day
Following approval from Cabinet, Emancipation Day was reinstated after 62 years and is now being celebrated on the first Monday in May as a public holiday. Other Caribbean nations celebrate Emancipation Day in August. The Cayman Islands celebrates in May as there was no mandatory apprenticeship for freemen. This is due to slave owners not registering with the British government.
