Labour Day in Trinidad and Tobago is a national public holiday. It commemorates the 1937 labour uprising, led by Tubar Uriah "Buzz" Butler, which gave rise to the country’s modern trade union movement.

Midsummer Eve (Juhannusaatto) in Finland is often considered more important than Midsummer Day itself. Families and friends gather at summer cottages for saunas, bonfires and midnight sun festivities, blending ancient folk rituals with modern summer traditions.
