About Dia di Tula
Dia di Tula is a national holiday in Curaçao, commemorating the slave uprising led by Tula on August 17, 1795. Tula fought for freedom, equality, and human dignity, becoming a symbol of resistance and courage. Today, the day is honored through ceremonies, cultural events, and education, celebrating Curaçao's history and the ongoing importance of freedom and justice.
Programme on Monday 17 August
On this special day, we come together to honour the legacy of Curaçaoan resistance leader Tula, who led the island's largest revolt against slavery in 1795. His fight for freedom, justice and human dignity continues to inspire generations.
