The anniversary of the founding of a city, a state, a country, or any other geographic region (whether it be real or fictional), is often a cause for celebration. These are even more festive when the anniversary is a centennial (100-year), bicentennial (200-year), etc.
Truth in Television, as founding celebrations often take place in real life, with possibly the most famous one being Independence Day (July 4) in the United States (with its 1976 Bicentennial being more of a celebration than usual).
May be a Fictional Holiday.

Grampy from Grass and Sky hates the Fourth of July because that's when the people who camp (often illegally) by the lake start getting drunk and rowdy and making trouble for everyone else.

The 1989 Cheers episode "The Stork Brings a Crane" involves the celebration of the bar's centennial. When Pete points out that the sign says "Est. 1895", Sam says he made that up because Carla was into numerology at the time and said it was luckier.

A subplot in Discworld's Feet of Clay involves the tricentenary of the founding of the First Ankh-Morpork Republic on the 4th of Grune 1688 following the Ankh-Morpork Civil War. However, the only people who care are historical re-enactment geeks, and most of them are closet royalists who think the wrong side won.

The Big O: "Heaven's Day" is a celebration of the day Paradigm City was founded. It's clearly related to Christmas (giving presents, trees, etc.), and Alex Rosewater seems to know the significance of its trappings, and mentions it's "the day God's son was born" - which has some ominous overtones given his ambitions...

"The Tercentenary Incident": The story starts on 2076 July 4, the three hundred year anniversary (Tercentenary) of America's Declaration of Independence. This is celebrated despite the fact that, under the Federation, America acts like a state within the Planetary Council, where it is represented by the American President. During a public celebration, the President is the target of an Assassination Attempt.

Sunny Side Up covers the United States Bicentennial in 1976. Sunny's family and friends attend patriotic celebrations that day (as they live in Valley Forge) and that night attend a picnic and cookout. Things go wrong during the night's fireworks when her substance-abusing older brother Dale shows up late and drunk and, when fighting with their father, accidentally hits Sunny hard enough to bruise her when she tries to stand between them to stop the fighting.

In Left Behind, Nicolae Carpathia announces the Global Gala taking place 3 1/2 years into the Tribulation period as a time to celebrate the founding of the Global Community. In reality, though, he timed it to take place around the same time that the Two Witnesses would end their period of prophesying to the people about Jesus' coming, which would make them powerless to withstand being shot to death by Nicolae himself, which turns out to be all according to Scripture.

Ciaphas Cain: One of Cain's first assignments is to a regiment comprised of what's left of two entirely different regiments after a severe Tyranid mauling: The 301st specializing in planetary assaults, and the 296th a rear-echelon garrison. And for extra fun, the former is all-male and the latter all-female, with their commanding officer being made colonel because literally everyone else in the line for promotion was dead and had three days' seniority over her counterpart in the 301st. Cain barely manages to get them to work together, and there there' a Bar Brawl that results in several dead, because the mess hall was using the 296th' dinnerware as it was their Founding Day. Cain's solution is to refound the regiment as the 597th and distribute non-fatal punishments to those involved, and they eventually become one of the best in the Imperium's history.
