Grenada celebrates 36th Independence Anniversary

February 7, 2010

Grenada is celebrating its 36th year of independence. It was on February 7, 1974 Premier Eric Gairy led Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique under a state of unrest, strikes and blackout into independence. For many years, the celebration of independence was not supported by all but 36 years later, and a new generation of nationals, the independence anniversary is proudly celebrated by nationals at home and abroad.

As a result of the major snow storm in Washington, D.C. celebrations planned for the 6th and 7th including a national church service were cancelled but the annual dinner in New York was held as scheduled.
