Saba Day is observed on the first Friday in December on the island of Saba, which is part of the Caribbean Netherlands. This holiday, also known as Flag Day, commemorates the adoption of Saba's flag, which was officially adopted on December 6, 1985, after a special committee selected a design from 130 submissions by an 18-year-old named Edmond Johnson. The flag features the colors white, red, and blue, symbolizing the island's historical ties to the Netherlands, with blue representing the Caribbean Sea, red signifying courage, and white denoting peace. At the center of the flag is a five-pointed star, which symbolizes the island itself, while its golden color reflects the beauty and riches of Saba. The celebration allows islanders to enjoy a long weekend dedicated to their heritage and identity.
