The day of German unity (Tag der deutschen Einheit) is a nationwide public holiday celebrated on 3 October. It marks the official reunification of Germany in 1990.
To elaborate a bit on german carnival customs: The official start of the carnival season is 11th of November at 11:11 (i don't know the reason). on this day a lot of people celebrate in the so called Faschingshochburgen like cologne or mainz, but the rest of germany is rather quiet. the real fasching starts around end of february and is at it's high time between Green Thursday and Ash Wednesday (GrÃ¼ndonnerstag bis Aschermittwoch). the exact dates varies with eastern and it's supposed to be a last hurray before Lent.
