27th September is celebrated as the Day of the French Community in Wallonia, Belgium every year.
The French Community of Belgium is one of three official Communities in Belgium, along with the Flemish (Dutch-speaking) Community and the German-speaking Community. For more about the different communities, please see Belgium, a divided country.
The name "French Community" is somewhat misleading as the people concerned are French-speaking but are not French people living in Belgium.
This day commemorates the limited autonomy granted to the French Community in 1980. The other Communities celebrate on 11th July (Day of the Flemish Community) and 15th November (Day of the German Community) respectively.
