11 January is Independence Manifesto Day in Morocco.
In 1944! Who knew?
They didn't actually _get_ independence for another 12 years, though.

That's the second Monday in January.
I'd never heard of this one; I knew the Japanese had a Girls' Day, Boys' Day, and Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) Day, but this one celebrates people who have reached legal adulthood (now 18) during the past year. Apparently the present holiday dates to the immediate post-WWII period.
(Wiki puts it in along with a whole lot of stuff about _individual_ coming-of-age customs in Japan.)

Berber New Year! Our first Alternative New Year.
(Berber yan + ayyur 'first month')
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YennayerThis says it's really on the 12th (and it's celebrated on that day in Algeria), but my source had it on the 14th in Morocco.
