With the CNMI Liberation Day kicking off in less than three weeks, Saipan can expect to see the return of the Fourth of July parade and carnival grounds with the opening ceremony to be held at the Garapan Fishing Base on Saturday, July 1, 2023. To avoid competing events with Taste of the Marianas being held in June this year, the committee decided to host Liberation Day festivities from July 1 through July 22, 2023.
