Day of German Unity

On October 3, 1990 the German Parliament voted on making the former East Germany a part of the united Germany. It is always celebrated on the same day in commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification.

People have a "buerger fest" which is celebrated in the streets of towns. Generally a government official presides. The official celebration is always in the capital of the different states, with one being picked as the main event each year. Lots of dancing and drinking is involved.
