Here in the US of A the individual states zealously guard their holidays. Massachusetts still celebrates Bunker Hill Day which fortituously falls on Saint Patrick's Day (March 17)

Just for the record, Bunker Hill Day is in mid-June. March 17 is the wonderfully-named Evacuation Day. It is supposedly a celebration of when the Redcoats (i.e. the British soldiers) were finally driven out of Boston during the Revolution (what's this war called in England?), but this is really an excuse for Boston, a heavily Irish town, to have the day off on St. Patrick's day.
