Julien Alfred Day is observed in Saint Lucia every September 27 in honor of Julien Alfred, a sprinter who made history by winning the country's first Olympic medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This public holiday celebrates her achievements, including a gold medal in the women's 100 meters and a silver in the women's 200 meters. The day was officially designated by the government of Saint Lucia to recognize Alfred's contributions to athletics and her role as a national icon. Celebrations include various festivities such as motorcades, school rallies, and concerts, along with the unveiling of a mural dedicated to her at her primary school. The inaugural celebration in 2024 featured a week-long series of events from September 24 to 29, highlighting her remarkable accomplishments and inspiring future generations of athletes.
