The Battle of Las Piedras is a national holiday in Uruguay that commemorates the first major military victory of the independence movement led by José Artigas in 1811. This victory was a turning point in the struggle against Spanish colonial rule in the Río de la Plata region. The day is marked by patriotic parades and official ceremonies. Economically, it is a non-working day, leading to the closure of the Montevideo Stock Exchange and all banking institutions in the country.
This is a fixed annual public holiday observed on May 18th, though it may be moved to the preceding Monday or following Friday according to Uruguayan holiday laws.
