Catalan National Day is a special celebration held on September 11 in Catalonia, a region in Spain. It's like a big birthday party for their culture and history. On this day, people remember a battle from a long time ago in 1714, when they tried hard to keep their own way of life. Even though they lost, they celebrate their identity and traditions. People join parades, wave the Catalan flag, and enjoy music and dancing. It's a day for Catalans to feel proud of who they are and show the world what makes them unique.
