Commonwealth Cultural Day is a public holiday that is celebrated on the second Monday of October after the CNMI renamed Columbus Day, pursuant to Public Law 15-4 that was enacted in 2006. This year we celebrate Commonwealth Cultural Day on October 11, 2021. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating heritage and the great diversity of the Northern Mariana Islands. Not only are there ethnic groups originally local to the islands, Chamorros and Carolinians, there are also large numbers of people in the CNMI with different ethnicities— Filipino, Chinese, Korean, just to name a few.
