The main focus is on St Peter Port with some 20,000 people expected to come and go during the day.
Although nowhere near as aspirational or packed as last year's 80th anniversary, Liberation Day 2026 is busier than we may have expected.
St Peter Port and its piers are the main focus for food and entertainment, while Castle Cornet hosts live local bands.
The much-loved Liberation Cavalcade of military and vintage vehicles sets off from Torteval at 12.15 for a trip along the west coast through to Bordeaux and ending up as a static display in St Peter Port at 3pm.
The day begins with the sounding of the new Air Raid warning siren, the inter-schools relay race, an athletics club road race from Rousse to Town and the traditional military parade and Church Service.
From then on, St Peter Port turns into a Liberation-themed fun zone with music, food, entertainers and a fairground.
Castle Cornet is dedicated to local live music which begins mid-morning.
St Andrews has its celebrations focused on the Last Post pub while St Peter's is at Sylvans football club.
The days ends, as is tradition, with fireworks at dusk.
