I expect on Komarr there are Issues about celebrating pre-Barrayaran-invasion national holidays vs celebrating Barrayaran holidays. Especially during the worst bits of the various uprisings there, I'd expect a lot of repression of any holiday that suggests that Komarr is an independent polity and a lot of 'encouragement' to celebrate the Emperor's Birthday really, really enthusiastically, and the whole thing being a benchmark for where individual Komarrans stand on the collaborator/resistance question.
On Sergyar they no doubt celebrate Prince Serg enthusiastically, which has to be fun for Aral and Cordelia...
I get the feeling Escobar is at least partly Catholic and celebrates the Catholic feast cycle (and how do you calculate the date for Easter on Escobar?) and yeah, certainly the day they drove the Barrayarans out.
