Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (), also known in English as "St John the Baptist Day", is a holiday celebrated on June 24 in the Canadian province of Quebec and by French Canadians across Canada and the United States. It was brought to Canada by French settlers celebrating the traditional feast day of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist. It was declared a public holiday in Quebec in 1925, with publicly financed events organized province-wide by a "Comité organisateur de la fête nationale du Québec".
