National Day in Bhutan is observed every December 17 and commemorates the coronation of Ugyen Wangchuck, the first Druk Gyalpo, in 1907. This significant national holiday is widely celebrated throughout the country, with the main festivities taking place at Changlimithang Stadium in the capital city of Thimphu. The celebrations include a public address by the current Druk Gyalpo and a procession featuring a statue of Ugyen Wangchuck, honoring his contributions to the nation's development and the establishment of the modern Bhutanese monarchy. The House of Wangchuck, founded by Ugyen Wangchuck, has ruled Bhutan since its reunification, marking this day as a pivotal moment in the country's history.
