Boonta's Eve, or Boonta Eve, was one of three holidays established to commemorate the victories of the Hutts against the Parliament of Moralan, and was named after Boonta the Hutt.

HistoryEdit

The holiday was celebrated on various planets, including Ko Vari, Arami, and Tatooine, with the organizing of various racing sports. On Tatooine, the festival was observed mainly in parts of Mos Espa, most notably with the Boonta Eve Classic. The night of the event was sometimes the target of hoodlums aligned with Lady Valarian, who robbed the elderly, and mugged people who ventured outdoors. Such gangs were based out of town and were sometimes nicknamed "the Boonta Eve bandits".^[1]
