Statehood Day (Croatian: Dan državnosti, pronounced [dan dr̩ʒaʋnosti]) is an annual public holiday and national day celebrated on 30 May in Croatia to celebrate the constitution of the first modern multi-party Croatian Parliament in 1990. As a national day and public holiday, it is a non-working day for all government employees and the majority of the labour force based in Croatia.^[1]

While there are no strict or established forms of celebration associated with the holiday, it is usually celebrated outdoors. The day is usually marked by family reunions, picnics, barbecues, flag-raising and national anthem-playing ceremonies and by civilian and military parades on quinquennial or decennial anniversaries.
