Empire Day

Empire Day is a holiday celebrating the beginning of the Empire.

About the holiday
Originally declared by Palpatine, the current celebration considers this the day that Anakin took the throne. All references to Palpatine were removed when Anakin publically revealed, during his crowning, that Palpatine was a Sith lord. Celebrations include parties and gift-giving. At the Imperial palace, a massive banquet is held, where the royal family feasts with their court. Whatever food that isn't eaten is given to the needy afterward.
