National Day
Patriotic state holiday
National Day most often refers to the People's Republic of China's October 1st holiday, commemorating the 1949 founding of the PRC.
The term also names specific holidays in Singapore (August 9), Saudi Arabia (September 23), and other countries that use this exact title rather than a distinctive name like Independence Day or Republic Day: National Day in Singapore features fireworks over Marina Bay. (Lowercase national day is the generic term for any country's patriotic holiday.)
