Venus Day

 Venus Day falls on 25 July and commemorates Tira's first public enunciation of her plan to save Earth from collision with the rogue moon Neith, and divert it instead to terraform Venus. Originally it was resolved that a year after her announcement, and every year thereafter, progress would be assessed and plans re-evaluated on this anniversary. As the festival developed, it became the custom to spend the morning floating reports, and then from noon onwards people go on fanos rides and eat special hot sweet round venus cakes with swirly patterns on them.
