Well, today is 18th september, the ‘Independence Day’ of Chile

This day, Mateo de Toro y Zambrano made the first governing the country, which under the ‘Independence of Chile’ (which in fact the February 12 but issues that Chile has many holidays, will try to accommodate )

This day different activities, one of which is the 'Parada Militar’ which is usually broadcast on television and seen throughout the country are made. Also calls for a few days 'Fondas’ where normally people will share and celebrate this event are made.

Recently it became a 'regional holiday’ in Coquimbo, where the festival at this time, called 'La Pampilla’ where are thousands of families in the area to celebrate for days national holidays is done, which is being seen as 'World Heritage’
