I actually heard something on the radio this morning about a celebration being held somewhere around here in Baltimore, so I'm sure there are a few places that do this.
Of course, they didn't say anything about burning effigies, and if there isn't any effigy-burning then I don't want to be involved.

I think it started more out of anger and revenge then out of celebration. Kind of like if Americans started getting together on September 11 to burn effigies of Osama Bin Laden.
Patriotic celebration against a common enemy.
