**Georgia Celebrates Independence Day on May 26**
Today, May 26, is a special day for the people of Georgia. It’s their Independence Day. On this day in 1918, Georgia declared its independence from other countries that controlled it at the time.
To celebrate this important event, there will be big celebrations in the capital city, Tbilisi. The main event will take place on Freedom Square and starts at 11:00 am today. This area has been prepared for a special military celebration by Lieutenant General Giorgi Matiashvili, who is in charge of Georgia’s Defense Forces.
