Constitution Day is observed in Seychelles every June 18, commemorating the adoption of a new constitution and the return to multiparty democracy in 1993. This public holiday celebrates the establishment of a multiparty system and the recognition of Creole, English, and French as national languages. The day is marked by various celebratory events, including parades, flower shows, musical concerts, and speeches. The significance of this date stems from the historical context of Seychelles, which transitioned from a one-party state under President France-Albert René to a democratic system following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. Although the anniversary was initially proclaimed the national day, it was later decided that Independence Day on June 29 would hold that title, while Constitution Day remains a public holiday.
