There are many parties, celebrations, traditional folk songs sung as well as performances by modern artists, TV programs aired, cakes and pastries made with blue and white (the Colors of the Israeli flag).
Israeli holidays, like Jewish holidays, are celebrated according to the Hebrew calendar which represents days from sundown to sun down. This year (2010) Israeli Independence Day is on April 20th and will be celebrated from the night of April 19th (Independence Eve) to the night of April 20th (Independence Day).
Israel gained independence through victory in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-1949 and the Six-Day took place in 1967. The only relationship that the Six Day War has to Israeli independence is that the Six Day War preserved Israeli independence and prevent the Arab countries from conquering it.
David Ben Gurion read the Israeli Declaration of Independence, but all the Jews of Israel and their allies who insured an Israeli victory in the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949 were also responsible for Israeli Independence, because otherwise, it would just be meaningless words.
It is celebrated on the Jewish Calendar which is lunar based.
