The people of the United States are invited to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of their country with church services and other activities.
In some towns and cities, special church services, parades and large events are held. Most celebrations are concentrated around the Italian-American community.
The celebrations in New York and San Francisco are particularly noteworthy. In Hawaii Columbus Day is also known as Landing Day or Discoverer's Day.
Not all parts of the United States celebrate Columbus Day. It is not a public holiday in California, Nevada and Hawaii.
Moreover, Native Americans’ Day is celebrated in South Dakota, while Indigenous People’s Day is celebrated in Berkeley, California.
For me, it has come to mean the end of the beginning of the school year. I hope you enjoy this beautiful long weekend.
