Three national days considered to be important to our history:

-17 March 1835, when King Louis charged into the Prussian lines with 10,000 soldiers and decisively crushed them, giving Hanover its independence.
-18 August 1916, when the Germans, who had invaded the country, surrendered to the numerically and tactically superior Hanoverians.
-2 June 1919, when it was renamed Hanovereich to distinguish it from the HRE-era state.

Apart from the days of local patron saints, of which there are numerous, King’s Day is the main national patriotic holiday. It is always on the feast of Whitsun, and thus changes depending on the date of Easter. This day marks the descent of the Holy Ghost on the Twelve Disciples, and thus remembers also the calling down of the Holy Ghost upon the King’s person at the coronation, and by extension, asserts the divine right of the King to rule and reign. It is also the traditional day for the confirmation and the taking of the solemn oath of liegance for children, at the age of 14 or thereabouts. On Whitsun and the days following, especially Whit Monday which is a high holiday and to a lesser extent, Whit Tuesday, there are many festivities, such as parades, plays and processions, both in celebration of the religious feast, and in honour of the Sovereign, who is „by the grace of God”, King. A famous event is the Royal Tournament held at Hameford Castle where hundreds of competitors in full armour participate in bouts of jousting, as well as other martial equestrian sports.

1st of January, 2000, begins the start of the Valentian Era.

The Valentians - now termed as survivors of the Nuclear War, as well as the future generations - got aboard their spaceships, all 400,000+ of them watching in unison as Valentijn was the last to leave Earth. With more reassurance and security in mind, he pressed the button, triggering the terraforming event of the Earth. The radiation casted away, not destroyed but reused for benevolence. The radiation acted as additional energy supply, significantly contributing to the terraforming process as Earth was torn apart on the surface and at least 10 km depth worth of underground. It was not just that Mother Nature was restored, but rather, the buildings were restored. It would be up to the Valentians on what they wanted to do with Earth as the ancestors for the future generations.

On August 10, 2007, in NicoNico Douga, appeared the adult film Workout: Muscle Fantasies 3, co-directed by both Can-Am Productions and Matt Thomas Productions, created and directed by Matthew Moore, produced by Ron Sexton, and released in the same year. The film stars Billy Herrington, Danny Lee, Anthony Capriati, and Duncan Mills and was responsible for the creation of Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling. It is celebrated nationwide as Gachimuchi Day, and also as the capital's founding day (see Shinnipori article in the Gachimuchi2 Wiki).

It depends on each state and here are following:

March 10th: Valencia Day along with Valencian Culture Day(for Principality of Valencia only)
March 16th: Davao Day along with Dabawenyo Culture Day (for Kingdom of Davao only)
May 8th: Mati Day(for Kingdom of Mati only)
June 16th: Surigao Day(for Duchy of Surigao only)
June 17th: Butuan Day(for Principality of Butuan only)
Every third week of August: Kadayawan festival(for Kingdom of Davao only)

However in terms of significance and celebrations, the April 7th: Liberation from the Spanish Day is the near equivalent to the US 4th of July in East Mindanao

We celebrate August 13th as "Freedom Day", when the formerly authoritarian and impoverished regime under Prime Minister August Lapins came to its end with a combined military coup d'etat and political uprooting. We also celebrate September 6th as "Constitution Day", when a new federal constitution was approved via public referendum.

national cat day, which is on what would be the 27th of may on the euro-american calander.

this is well after the vernal equanox and before the summer solstice.
we put it this way because there are several calander options, no single one of which has been officially adopted.

(13 months of 28 days, 19 months of 19 days, and those are just based on the earth year.)

there is also first demonstration of self propulsion on rails, from which modern cameroi dates itself.
the problem here again is lack of universe consensus as to what day to hold it on.

then there was the first war that was prevented by people realizing that wars could damage the railways.

then there was last human day. but all dates before the ending of ecopocalypse are uncertain and speculative.

so we really, our holidays are pretty much the only ones we feel universally confident of, those being the equanoxes and solstices.
we do celebrate, as mentioned other things, but there is invariably a local option, as to when to celebrate anything other then those primal points of the year.

May 23rd is Union Day, when the Terms of Union of the St. James' Plan went into effect and the 13 colonies were placed under a general government in 1768. The St. James' Plan was formulated at St. James' Palace, a royal residence, where a colonial delegation elected by the Philadelphia Congress and King George III's ministers negotiated a confederation of the 13 British colonies to better address defense matters, relations with other colonial powers and the Native Americans in America, and future colonial expansion. About a century later, the NAU was essentially made into the first autonomous Kingdom of the British Empire and a co-equal of Britain in overseeing imperial and international affairs. The Union Act 1867 formalized this new status.
An alt-America that had a grand bargain struck with London in the 1760s and remained under the British Crown (Turtledove's "The Two Georges"), mixed with some of Sobel's "For Want of a Nail" and a lot of the anthology "Columbia and Britannia," the sci-fi NZ novel "Anno Domini 2000 or Woman's Destiny", and cameos of other alternate histories. “The Rock of the Britannic Commonwealth,” an alliance of Britannic and former colonies as partner-nations in personal union and/or in association.

There is none. According to tradition, native Berhakli recognize St. Michael as the protector of the Khosan peoples, and attribute patriotic undertones to the Feast of the Synaxis of the Archangels. Officially, the Synaxis is recognized as a state-mandated holiday, and, unofficially, the feast is commonly associated with Berhakli nationalism and anti-imperialist sentiment.

(different planet, different calendar) The date of Nudran 16th, the 177th and/or 178th day of the 320.58 day year in Zeganas is celebrated as United Republics Victory Day. Typically celebrated with music and parades and a military parade and airshow combo in the capital city of San Manasso but there have been calls to end the military parade tradition.
