There also is another holiday, which is Independence Day. It is on August 19. They have this holiday to celebrate that they are free from the British control. They could not have holidays in the early 1800's until they were finally released from Great Britain. Now they are free to have holidays. The final holiday is Labor Day, and that is on May 1.
