Holiday Economics, Why?

Today is suppose to be Independence day, however the holiday was moved to last Monday in line with the administration's policy of holiday economics; that is that holidays (except those with religious significance) will be shifted to the nearest Monday to reduce disruption to business and production schedules, encourage domestic tourism and give employees long weekends.

So yes, last Monday was a non-working holiday (of course, myself being unemployed... everyday is still a holiday) however the ceremonies and celebrations to commemorate Independence Day is still scheduled and performed today... so, what's the use? It only makes it harder for people (who  are supposed to be at work or in school today,) to attend said celebrations and events.
