The National Holiday of Quebec (French: La Fête nationale du Québec) is the national holiday[1] of the Canadian province of Quebec. A paid statutory public holiday covered under the Act Respecting Labour Standards[2], it is celebrated annually on June 24, St. John the Baptist Day.
In Quebec, the festivities occur on June 23 and June 24 and since 1978 are publicly financed and organized by a National Holiday Organizing Committee (Comité organisateur de la fête nationale). June 24 continues to be celebrated as a festival of French Canadian culture in other provinces and in the United States.
