What are some strange holidays in your NS nation? And why are they celebrated?

Here we have "Victoriinalia" also known as dismemberment day. Basically the people celebrate the dismemberment of the (fictional) Saint Victoria.

This Saint Victoria was an English nun serving Richard I (Rîvdaii Inferniitus, Richard Hell-Server) that lead and won the Anglo-Frankish siege if the orthodox roman city of Antioch. When Empress-consort Irene Doukaina retook the city a certain Victoria was captured, dismembered and burnt at the stake.

Irene Doukaina saw this a fitting punishment as this Victoria almost entirely burnt the city down, as a crusading nun does.

Well we have two unique ones, Reinnendag and Flouersfestival. Reinnendag (Queen’s Day) is a major festival held in the city of Reinesburg that celebrates the arrival of our first queen, Adčle I from Normandy. The second Flouersfestival (Flower Festival) is a weekend in the spring where the people of New Skandenivia celebrate spring and the blooming of the wildflowers throughout the nation.
