Haiti Flag Day 2025

Join us in celebrating Haiti’s Flag Day at South Norwood Lake!

This special event honours Haiti’s Flag Day (18th May)—a momentous occasion marking the creation of the Haitian flag in 1803 during the nation’s fight for independence from France. More than just a symbol, the flag represents unity, resilience, and the struggle for freedom.

Haiti holds a unique place in world history as the first independent Black republic and the first nation to abolish slavery through a successful revolution. Flag Day is a powerful reminder of this legacy, celebrated with parades, cultural performances, music, and community gatherings across the Haitian diaspora.

Join us as we honour this historic day with an afternoon of culture, history, and Haitian pride—right here in South London!
