The European Federation of Liberian Associations, ELFA, in collaboration with the Liberian Association of the Netherlands, LAN, will host the 2023 joint Liberian Independence Day celebration in Amsterdam.
The celebration will span three days: Friday, July 28th, Saturday, July 29th, and Sunday, July 30th, 2023. A series of activities are planned for these days to commemorate the occasion.

EFLA's executive members, consisting of leaders from EFLA and heads of Liberian Associations (active EFLA members) across Europe, will convene to discuss pertinent issues for the federation's progress and growth.
