The Andalusia Day is celebrated February 28 and commemorates the February 28, 1980 referendum on the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia, in which the Andalusian electorate voted for the statute that made Andalusia an autonomous community of Spain.
In many municipalities and cities of Andalusia, people decorate their balconies with the flag of Andalusia and with bunting echoing its green-and-white bars. Cultural competitions are often held in conjunction with the day.

The Friday before is often a day of celebration in schools with a traditional Andalusian breakfast, consisting of a slice of toast with a thin layer of olive oil; students color pictures that refer to the symbols and insignia of Andalusia, its history and customs, put on plays and sing the regional anthem.
