German Unity Day, which marks the reunification of Germany that took place on 3rd October 1990, is celebrated as national holiday in Germany.
Why it is celebrated
In 1989, the Federal Republic of Germany and Democratic Republic of Germany united. The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 led this national big day. So this date November 9 was proposed to be the National Germany Unity Day as it paved a path for Germany’s Unification.
Consequently, the treaty was registered on September 20, 1990, which declared October 3 as the National holiday.

Every year different German city hosts the celebrations. People celebrate this with great enthusiasm like a festival. However there is no event registered yet for 2021.
