How many days until the 9 de Julio?
The counter shows the exact time left until Argentina's next 9 de Julio — Independence Day — down to the second, and rolls over to the following year automatically once the date passes.
What is celebrated on the 9 de Julio?
The Día de la Independencia marks the day the Congress of Tucumán declared Argentina's independence on July 9, 1816, freeing the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata from Spanish rule. It is one of Argentina's most important national holidays, celebrated with parades, locro (a traditional stew) and public ceremonies.
9 de Julio vs 25 de Mayo: what is the difference?
Both are Argentine patriotic dates and people often mix them up. The 25 de Mayo (1810) marks the May Revolution and the first local government, the first step away from Spain. The 9 de Julio (1816) is the formal declaration of independence six years later. May started the process; July completed it.
