National Heroes' Day is observed in Saint Kitts and Nevis every September 16, commemorating the birth anniversary of Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw, the country's first Premier. Established in 1996, the holiday was first celebrated in 1998 to honor Bradshaw, who played a crucial role in leading the nation to independence. The day recognizes the contributions of the country's National Heroes, including Paul Southwell, Joseph Nathaniel France, and Simeon Daniel, who were added to this honorary status in subsequent years. Celebrations typically include solemn ceremonies held throughout the country, where distinguished citizens are awarded for their outstanding achievements in various fields. National Heroes' Day serves as a significant occasion to reflect on the nation's progress and honor those who have significantly contributed to its advancement.
