21. AMERICAN AND BRITISH HOLIDAYS

AMERICA
There are no national holidays in the USA since each state has the right to decide its own holidays. So I would like to speak mainly about the federal public feast days which are observed by most states.
MARTIN LUTHER KING'S DAY is celebrated on the 3rd Monday in January. It is celebrated on the occasion of birth anniversary of late leader of the African-American civil rights movement.
During February Americans celebrate PRESIDENTS´ DAY, when all presidents of the USA are honoured. But some states celebrate Birthday of their most important presidents- Abraham Lincoln ( 12th February) and George Washington ( 22nd February) instead of Presidents´ Day.
DAY OF INDEPENDENCE is celebrated on 4th July. In US is called “The Fourth of July” or “July Fourth”.

This day is generally associated with parades, barbecue meat, beer, picnics, baseball games, spectacular fireworks and various other public and private events that celebrate the history, government, and traditions of the United States.
