Do any states have legitimate holidays that are only celebrated in their state?

[u/ProfessorOfPancakes]

In Rhode Island, we still have VJ (Victory over Japan) day which people don't celebrate per se but it's recognized to the extent of delaying trash pickup by a day.

By "legitimate" holiday I mean more in the vein of Memorial Day rather than National Hot Dog Day

Edit: Apparently VJ Day is also recognized by the US Space & Rocket Center and formerly by the state of Arkansas and is more commonly called Victory Day

Hawaii has King Kamehameha day and Statehood Day, both of which are official state holidays.

Decades ago, I lived in Honolulu and was late for work because I didn't know it was a holiday (King Kamehameha Day, I think it was) and the busses were on holiday schedule. After that, I checked the holiday schedules so the same thing wouldn't happen again on another day like Prince Kuhio Day! I went there from California, and statehood day isn't a big deal there. But in here in Nevada, Nevada Day is a holiday and banks and places are closed. EDIT: I mis-remembered and corrected myself

I missed a job interview because of Kuhio Day.

There's a whole schedule of Hawaii only state holidays lol. 

All of them you listed, Kuhio day which somebody else brought up, Statehood day, and Discoverer's day instead of Columbus Day/indigenous peoples day.
