Fete Week

Fete Weeks or Festival Weeks on Coruscant come in three forms, a New Year Fete Week, a Festival of Life, and a Festival of Stars.

New Year Fete Week is the first five days of the new year as determined by the Coruscant Standard Calendar, but before the first month. During the rule of the Galactic Empire, it was celebrated with a gigantic parade of Imperial technology and power.

The Festival of Life, which originated in the Core Worlds, consists of five days between the sixth and seventh months. It is marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.

The Festival of Stars is another celebratory week between the ninth and tenth months of the year that celebrates interstellar space travel. Many take vacations to other planets to mark this occasion.

There are also three Festival Days: Remembrance Day, New Order Day, Labour Day.

Remembrance Day occurs on the 19th day of the third month and remembers all of those who have fallen in the defence of the New Order. Originally the day was named Republic Day, but the meaning did not with the usurption of the Empire.

New Order Day occurs on the ninth day of the eighth month and celebrates the Emperor who brought peace to the Republic/Empire. Before the reign of the emperor, the day was known as Supreme Chancellor's Day.

Labour Day occurs on the 19th day of the tenth month and celebrates the worker. It has been used to protest the Empire's failure to recruit aliens.
