Here the etno groups have their ceremonies and hollidays too.We are tolerant, but actually theese ceremonies are important only for theese groups. Personally i am curious and interested in the traditions of the different people, so probably if i visit ceremony -i will do my best to learn asap about it and to feel it with all my heart.

In Australia we dont have many ceremonies at all that are important to everyone.
Some ceremonies are important to a few, such as Anzac Day & Australia Day.Christmas is probably celebrated by many more people.
I would say that the football Grand Final is celebrated by the most people for any event.

I live in a multi-racial, multi-religious country. We have an open economy where we encourage foreigners to come, work and live here. So besides the 4 or 5 major races that comprise the bulk of the citizenship, we have an international community made up of hundreds of thousands of others from all over the world living here. So you can expect that the different communities will observe their own ceremonies, beliefs, practices, rites and celebrations. The ceremonies practised are definitely important to the communities that practise them, but may not be significant to others as the latter may not partake in them. Our government does not stop the different communities observing their own ceremonies, because it adds cultural diversity and richness to this place, and promotes tolerance and respect among the diverse communities.

What exactly you mean ceremony?
Wedding Ceremony?
Religious Ceremonies?
Cultural Ceremony?
Or probably you are wanting to discuss about the festivals of different countries. I presume it is festival. In India, each state has its distinct festival and it is celebrated with pomp and show with colour and pagentry.
My state observes 4 important festival viz., Sankranthi (Harvest Festival)- Jan 14th, Ugadi (Mar./Apr), Ganesha Festival (Sept.), Dasera (October), Deepavali (in November).

Of course we have. And in my country, Indonesia, we have many kind of ceremonies. In each provinces also have their own ceremonies.
And It's really important. We have to join and participate the ceremony to regain patriotic spirit in each person in the country and keep the struggling-spirit of country's heroes.
