The National Acadian Day (French: Fête nationale de l'Acadie) is observed in parts of Canada each year on August 15, to celebrate Acadian culture.
Well known for their holiday spirit, Acadians form one of the oldest and most important francophone communities in Canada. There are at least 500,000 Acadians living in the country, the majority of them residing in Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
The National Acadian Day Act was passed by the Government of Canada in 2003. National Acadian Day highlights the contribution of Acadians to the Canadian cultural fabric, recognizes their historical presence on the land, and celebrates their cultural specificity in all its diversity.
