About local holidays
Turkey blends secular national holidays with Muslim religious feasts. April 23 (National Sovereignty and Children's Day) commemorates the 1920 opening of the Grand National Assembly — the world's only holiday dedicated to children. October 29 marks Atatürk's 1923 proclamation of the Republic. May 19 (Atatürk Memorial / Youth Day) recalls his 1919 landing at Samsun. Şeker Bayramı (end of Ramadan) and Kurban Bayramı (Sacrifice Feast) are movable and each lasts 3-4 days.
