Liberation Day

This year on 09 may Jersey will mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day – a momentous occasion honouring the day in 1945 when German forces surrendered, restoring freedom to the island after nearly five years of occupation during WWII. The Channel Islands were infamously the only United Kingdom territories to be occupied by the German Forces.

Liberation day is considered as Jersey's national day, involving celebrations based around Liberation Square, Royal Square and the Weighbridge. Expect live music, historical re-enactments, food stalls and on-stage entertainment.

Details of events taking place on the day are yet to be announced but will be added as soon as available.
