San Juan Day, or Araw ng San Juan, is observed in the city of San Juan in Metro Manila, Philippines, every March 27. This special non-working holiday commemorates the reestablishment of San Juan as an independent municipality in 1907. The area, originally part of the independent polity of Namayan, became known as San Juan del Monte after being established as a small town in the late 16th century. San Juan is historically significant as the site of the first major battle of the Philippine Revolution in 1896, which ignited armed resistance against Spanish colonial rule. The celebration reflects the city's rich history, including its transformation from a municipality to a city in 2007. Activities typically include local festivities that honor the city's heritage and community spirit.
