Independence Day (Albanian: Dita e Pavarësisë) is a public holiday in Albania observed on 28 November.

It commemorates the Albanian Declaration of Independence (from the Ottoman Empire), which was ratified by the All-Albanian Congress on 28 November 1912, establishing the state of Albania.

Independence Day is celebrated every 28 November as a holiday in Albania, and by the Albanian diaspora.

This spark emerged particularly among their diaspora in Southern Italy, the descendants of Albanians who fled after the death of Skandberg in the 15th century.
