Dome Day

Dome Day is a city-wide holiday in the Sanctum, celebrated annually on April 3. Dome Day commemorates the day the dome was sealed in 3139, which was also the last day of the Battle of the Line.

Traditionally Dome Day is a general work holiday except for essential services, though in the last decade, more and more service industry workers have been expected to attend work and serve during special Dome Day meals and during extremely profitable Dome Day sales.

Dome Day normally begins with a memorial ceremony at the Memorial of the Line. After the somber beginning, the rest of the day is much more light-hearted, with picnics, athletic contests, and video game tournaments as the most favored activities. At night, there are numerous digital and holographic fireworks displays.
