National Unity Day
National Unity Day (Alexandrian: Journée de l'Unité Nationale; Martino: Día de la Unidad Nacional; Wechua: Huñunakuy P'unchaw) is a federal holiday in Nouvelle Alexandrie celebrated annually on the twelfth day of the third month of the Anno Nortone year to commemorate the defeat of the Spring Crisis of 1739 coup attempt and celebrate the nation's commitment to democratic values and constitutional order.
Established by the Spring Proclamation of 1739, the holiday features nationwide ceremonies, including the iconic Lantern March in Cárdenas where thousands of citizens carry lights through the capital's streets in a symbolic recreation of civilian resistance to the coup, culminating at Federation Park for a ceremonial reading of the Spring Proclamation. The day is marked by official ceremonies at the Palace of Carranza attended by the King, Premier, and members of the Cortes Federales, while cities across the Federation host local celebrations combining cultural performances, military parades, and educational events about democratic institutions, with particular emphasis on youth participation and civic engagement.
