The holiday was first observed on June 7, 1968 and is only a public holiday in the western Besmenian states (Maurenmark, Lemberland, Greuningia, Frankenburg, Zollingia, Sedakania and Jakartaburg).

Celebrations in eastern Besmenia
While Liberation Day is of great importance in the western Besmenian states and almost appears there as a second national holiday next to the Besmenia Day, the holiday in eastern Besmenia is not a public holiday, but is still celebrated and honored by many.
