Festivals and Holidays in Ravenloft

[HyperionSol]

I'm about to kick off a Ravenloft campaign that begins in Port-A-Lucine, but may spread across the Core, or maybe beyond depending on what my players do. I want to keep up with dates and events since I am starting in 750 BC just as Van Richten vanishes. I've named the months, or 'moons' of the year, and just want to know if there are national or religious holidays that are actually scheduled in the Domains of Dread?

I don't need exact dates since the Barovian Calendar is not as specific as the Faerun one. I just want to know if there are specific holidays, like the Church of Ezra has holy days followers recognize, or the churches of Halas, Wolf God, the Lawbringer, or Belenus.

You can also sometimes find them talked about in the religion section of the 3e Ravenloft Gazetteers. A universal holiday for the Church of Ezra is the following:

In addition, the Church of Ezra often adopts local traditions on a case by case basis for each local temple.

The Darkonian Sect has also adopted the holidays of the Eternal Order:
