 Kurtuluş Savaşının zaferle sonuçlanmasından sonra 29 Ekim 1923 tarihinde Cumhuriyet rejimi ilan edilmiştir. Cumhuriyet rejimi Türk kamuoyunda büyük ekseriyetle pozitif karşılanmıştır. Bu rejim tüm ülkede bayram şöleni şeklinde kutlanmıştır. 1924 yılında henüz resmi bayram olarak kabul edilmeyen cumhuriyet rejimi devletin desteğiyle ülke genelinde bir bayram havası içerisinde kutlanmıştır. Cumhuriyetin ilan edildiği gün, Meclisin 19 Nisan 1925 tarihindeki oturumunda çıkarılan bir kanunla Türk Devletinin ulusal bayramı kabul edilmiştir. 19 Nisan 1925 tarihinden itibaren 29 Ekim Cumhuriyet Bayramı yurtiçinde ve yurtdışındaki temsilciliklerde kutlanmıştır. Afyonkarahisar halkı Cumhuriyetin ilanını büyük bir sevinçle karşılamıştır. Tüm ülkede olduğu gibi Afyonkarahisarda da Cumhuriyet Bayramı kutlamaları CHP merkez teşkilatından gönderilen talimatnameler doğrultusunda belirli bir plan ve program çerçevesi içerisinde uygulanmıştır. Afyonkarahisarda yapılan bayram kutlama törenlerinin bir önceki yıla göre daha kapsamlı olması için çaba sarf edilerek vilayetlerde, kasabalarda, köylerde kutlamalar boyunca görsel bir şölen atmosferi oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Afyonkarahisar şehrinin idarecileri, halkın bayram kutlamalarına katılmasına özen göstermiş ve devlet-halk kaynaşmasının sağlanarak yeni rejimi ve bu rejimin yapmış olduğu yenilikleri millete benimsetmeye çalışmıştır. Bu çalışmanın konusu Afyonkarahisarda Cumhuriyet Bayramı kutlamalarıdır. 1934-1948 tarihleri arasında Afyonkarahisarda Cumhuriyet Bayramı kutlamalarının nasıl gerçekleştirildiği, törenlerde ne çeşit programların uygulandığı, programların özü hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Afyonkarahisar halkının kutlamalara yaklaşımı ve kutlamaların kamuoyu nezdindeki önemi tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Konu, 1934-1948 yılları arasındaki Afyonkarahisar basınına yansıyan bilgiler, tetkik eserler ve arşiv belgelerinden faydalanarak incelenmiştir.
