What is what holiday is january 9?

January 9th doesn't have a widely recognized federal or international holiday. However, depending on the region, there may be local observances.

  • Panama: January 9th is known as Martyrs' Day or Día de los Mártires. It commemorates the 1964 student protests demanding Panamanian sovereignty over the Panama%20Canal%20Zone. The events of that day were a significant factor in the eventual Torrijos-Carter Treaties, which transferred control of the Canal to Panama.

  • Other Local or Regional Celebrations: There might be other smaller, local, or religious observances occurring on January 9th depending on the specific community. These are unlikely to be broadly recognized national holidays.
