Victory Day commemorates the end of World War II with the surrender of Japan during the war, on August 14, 1945.
Victory Day was originally celebrated all across the United States, until 1975 when all states but Rhode Island eventually dropped the holiday. It remains a state holiday in Rhode Island, so some businesses and all schools as well as government buildings are closed, many people have the day off to participate in the celebrations.
