Summer Ale Carnivale

The Summer Ale Carnivale is a celebration of the fall of the old United States in the Virginian Union. It is held on July 4th every year to mock the Independence Day holiday of the former country. Festivities are usually playful and light, however some self-declared VU patriots often burn old USA flags and dolls of George Washington in effigy. This usually happens during something locals call a 'burn party'. Burn Parties were banned in 1956 after the event's of 'Bloody Virginia'.

The festival is a perversion of a holiday tradition started in the Kentucky Federal Commonwealth, a summer drinking holiday to commemorate and reminisce on the old Independence Day holiday of the former country, instead of mocking it.
