There are state holidays in the US as well as national ones. For the most part, only State employees take the state holidays off. There are sometimes local holidays as well. Where I work, we have another office in the same state that takes a holiday for a local festival. To be fair, they probably could not get into the building that day anyhow. They have a street festival happening practically in their laps.

Some Holidays are designated National and apply to all provinces. Other Holidays are local to the particular province of interest. Does the same thing apply to the USA? Are there, for example, holidays in Georgia that are not recognized in New York? Is there some definitive list of these that can be downloaded from someplace? Second, one assumes that this also applies to other nations. Let us take Switzerland as a hypothetical example. Are there holidays in Canton X that are not holidays in Canton Y? Gustav, what say you about Denmark? (I confess that I don't even know what a region of Denmark is called -- a province? a state? an enclave?) I think we have a few Dutch listers here too. What say you? Any French? Belgians? Italians? Spanish? Portuguese? Bulgarians? Serbians? etc. One assumes, based solely on the difference between Canada and the USA, that there are different national holidays and also "provincial" holidays. Can anyone supply more detail into this?
