Aragon Day is observed in the autonomous community of Aragon in northeastern Spain every year on April 23, coinciding with the feast of Saint George. This holiday commemorates the Battle of Alcoraz, a significant event in the Reconquista, where Saint George is venerated as the patron saint of Aragon. Celebrations include church services, flag-raising ceremonies, cultural performances, traditional craft fairs, parades, and rallies, particularly in the capital city of Zaragoza. During this public holiday, schools, government organizations, and many businesses are closed, although some grocery stores and bakeries may remain open. The Aragon Awards are presented to individuals who have made notable contributions to the community, further highlighting the day's significance.
