Group I. Labor Day
In America, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of each September.
A street parade of the trade and labor organizations and a festival for the workers and their families are organized to express the respect to working people.
Because Labor Day is a three-day weekend and is the last holiday before autumn, it’s the last chance to enjoy the summer season. The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parties. Families celebrate Labor Day by going to fairs(ярмарки) or parades, having barbecues, going to the beach or on a picnic, watching fireworks displays, doing water sports, and visiting public art events. Families with school-age children take it as the last chance to travel before the end of summer holidays.
In U.S. sports, Labor Day marks the beginning of college football seasons. Teams usually play their first games the week before Labor Day.
The three-day Labor Day weekend can be a great opportunity to spend some time with your family.
Group II. Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday of May (May 30 in 2011). It is held to honor Americans who have died in all wars and to teach the younger generation to live in peace.
Both religious services and patriotic parades are organized during the day's celebrations. A wreath (венок) is placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. A moment of silence at 3 P.M. local time is held to mark and remember all America's war dead.
Memorial Day often marks the start of the summer vacation season.
Memorial Day is an occasion for more general expressions of memory. Ordinary people visit the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they had served in the military or not. It is also a long weekend when people go shopping, arrange family get-togethers, watch fireworks, go to the beach, and visit national events such as auto races.
Group III. Independence Day
Independence Day, or the 4th of July, is a federal holiday in the United States. On this day in 1776 the United States declared their independence from England.
Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Many politicians appear at a public event to make political speeches and ceremonies to praise the nation's history, society, and people.
People decorate their houses and clothing in red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. They sing patriotic songs. Parades often are organized in the morning, while fireworks displays, carnivals and concerts are held in the evening in parks or town squares. A salute is fired on Independence Day at noon.
Families often celebrate Independence Day by arranging a picnic or barbecue and family reunions to gather with relatives. They have fun taking part in baseball games and a pie-eating and watermelon-competitions.
