American culture began to develop more before the United States became a nation. British, as well as Ireland, Germany, Poland, Italy cultures influenced its early formation.
Americans celebrate a lot of holidays such as New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Columbus Day, Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, St. Valentine’s Day, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last day of May. This day was proclaimed as a national holiday in 1971 by President Nixon. This day of remembrance of all the American soldiers who died in all wars. Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday of October. This day is dedicated to the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. The main ceremony is held in New York, where you can see a huge parade. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17.
Also every year, when the corn stalks rise to the sky and the leaves turn yellow, people in the United States often come to the farms to visit the autumn festivals. Most of the activities at these festivals are family. You can ride a cart, choose pumpkins, walk through the maze of corn, play with pets in the yard. But what really singles out some of these autumn events, is the desire of visitors to watch how pumpkins are blown up in the air and flung at long distances [1].
There is another tradition. When Americans attend sporting events (especially football matches), they do not simply come in and take their seats – they should arrive in a few hours to properly prepare for game watching. Painted by the colours of favorite sports teams, people hang out near their cars at the parking lot of the stadium, fry food on the grill, sipping cold drinks and play on the lawn, throwing each other footballs.
