There are a lot of explanations behind the celebration, including Colon Day, that every year falls on November 5.
The celebration of Colon Day is associated with the history of the independence of Panama from Colombia. The USA helped Panama in the partition from Colombia, yet the last would not like to perceive the independence of Panama. Formally Panama announced its independence on November 3, 1903, yet the fight didn’t stop. The government of Colombia ordered the Army to march on Panama City. On November 3, 1903, the Panamanians needed to remain their grounds in the city of Colon, which is a vital spot close to the Caribbean Sea.
The Panamanian authorities put forth a valiant effort to convince the Army of Colombia not to partake during the time spent separation of Panama from Colombia. The negotiations were successful and this day became a landmark in the history of Panama.
On 3 November 1903, Panama authoritatively pronounced its independence from Colombia. Colombia ordered soldiers to put down the defiance by attacking Panama and holding onto Panama City.

Nonetheless, Columbus didn’t found the city, he just visited Navy Bay, encompassing the island where the city of Colon is found. The city was established because of the California gold rush, and the gold diggers named it Colon out of appreciation for Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón).
