French Word For Holiday

french word for holiday
Fluent French speakers, how do you say the following?

I am making a calendar page for the month of October, and I want to add a bunch of wacky holidays… so, I must have them all in French. My book has almost none of these words, can you translate these for me into French?

Plush Animal Lover’s Day
National Denim Day
National Bologna Day
National Nut Day
National Grouch Day
Farmer’s Day
Moldy Cheese Day
Name Your Car Day
Homemade Cookies Day

Also: I know day is translated into “Jour” (correct me if I’m wrong!) …so, can I just add “jour” to the end of something to make it “____ day!”…?

Merci beaucoup!

You are wonderful!!!! How creative!

No, you cannot just add jour at the end, it does not work that way. In French, we usually use the word fête to indicate a holiday.

Plush Animal Lover’s Day = Fête des amis des animaux en peluche
National Denim Day = Fête nationale du denim
National Bologna Day = Fête nationale du saucisson
National Nut Day = Fête nationale des noix
National Grouch Day = Fête nationale des rouspéteurs
Farmer’s Day = Fête des fermiers
Moldy Cheese Day = Fête du fromage moisi
Name Your Car Day = Baptême des voitures
Homemade Cookies Day = Fête des biscuits maison
