The story

Kuwait Liberation Day in Kuwait City/Multi-city

Kuwait observes February 26 as Liberation Day, marking the end of the seven-month 1990-91 Iraqi occupation and the success of the coalition-led liberation campaign, with solemn official commemoration and veteran remembrance alongside the ongoing evening fireworks and family celebrations shared with the preceding National Day.

February 26 marks Kuwait Liberation Day, commemorating the end of the seven-month Iraqi occupation that began with the August 1990 invasion and concluded when the last occupying forces were expelled from Kuwait City on February 26, 1991, following the ground offensive of Operation Desert Storm.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Liberation Day from the preceding National Day is its specific commemorative weight: it marks the end of a seven-month wartime occupation rather than a peaceful constitutional milestone, and official programming includes remembrance elements for those affected by the invasion and liberation campaign alongside the celebratory street activity

02

The mystery stays covered

Retrospective media coverage revisiting the 1990-91 crisis gives the day an educational tone that complements, rather than replaces, the festive atmosphere continuing from National Day the day before
