What do people celebrate?
Romania celebrates its national day, also
called 1918 Union Day, with military parades
and public speeches given by national
leaders in cities such as Bucharest and in
Alba Iulia (the “union city”). Many people in
Romania have the day off work and school.
Public life
National Day is a public holiday in Romania
so banks, public offices, and many private
businesses are closed. People intending to
travel via public transport during public
holidays must check with the public transit
authorities on any changes to time
schedules. Some parts of Bucharest, and
possibly other major cities, may be closed off
during certain times of the day for military
parades.

Background
Roman’s National Day marks the country’s
unification in 1918 and the formation of the
Romanian state within its present-day boundaries.
Romania’s full independence had been recognized
in 1878 but it was not until December 1, 1918 in the
city of Alba Iulia, when Romania – made of
Moldova and Wallachia at the time – was united
with Transylvania, Crisana, Banat and the
Maramures area. National Day has been celebrated
in Romania since 1990, after the fall of the
Romanian Communist Party.
Symbols
The Romanian flag is flown on National Day in
Romania. The national flag is a tricolor blue,
yellow, red, with colors arranged in vertical bands
of equal size. It has a width-length ratio of 2:3. The
3 colors symbolize 3 Romanian provinces –
Wallachia (yellow), Moldavia (red), and
Transylvania (blue). The national anthem
‘DeşteaptăDeşteaptă-te, române!’
române!’ (Awaken thee,
Romanian!) is also performed. The anthem is a
symbol of unity, courage, and patriotism among
Romanians.
