Given that we idolize the Founders and especially Washington, it's wired that Presidents Day is not a huge deal in the US. So how would we go about having President's Day treated with the same celebration as the Queen's Birthday in Britain or like a mini Fourth of July?
We don't really do much for the Queen's Birthday. There's a Trooping of the Colour I think, but that's about it.

Its not really a big event, there are some events on TV, but a lot of people do not pay that much attention to it. As I recall the Queen has two birthdays, an official one, a date which is not her actual birthday but just a state occasion where those events take place, and her actual birthday, which is mainly a private event. I cannot tell you when either of them are.The only annual national celebration which most people get involved in is probably bonfire night, and that isnt even a public holiday.American media always made it seem like y'all go all out

Here in Canada we have Victoria Day which I guess is the closest thing to American Presidents Day. Essentially its just a day off where some people light fireworks in the evening.
We don't do either of those things on Presidents Day. Unless you work at a bank, you probably don't have the day off today
