Undercelebrated holidays/celebrations (lemm.ee)

In my setting, I'm exposed to a lot of people day by day, and sometimes I meet people who are celebrating things I've never heard of before. It sometimes feels like a Spongebob episode, I'm talking to them and they might say something like "we're observing national hat day today" or "we're celebrating Hiawatha Day" (apparently that's August 22nd). How many of you can relate? Have any non-conventional observances (for a lack of a better way to ask)?

That sounds sweet the kids were that open to the existence of so many holidays. In all the places I've been, even the smallest calendar addition would be overwhelming to everyone.
