independece day

In one "calendar of events" I found that Croatia Independece Day is on October 8th. None of it was mentioned in other acalendares I went through. So, is it? What does it means it terms of celebration? business hour, shops, restaurants...?

Yes, my calender also shows some holiday on this day. No, there usually are no celebrations on public holidays - just a few flags more.

Everything will be like on any Sunday - meaning that besides large hypermarkets and few grocery stores other shops will be closed. As well as banks and post offices. Some museums might be closed as well, although in tourist places they will probably be open. Public transport is usually somewhat reduced (Sunday schedules).
Most cafes and restaurants will be open.

Independence Day tends to change its date with each new compositon of our parliament. New MPs bring new understanding of when Croatia became independent and somehow we always end up with a different date ;-)
All this shuffling of dates resulted in people having very low interest in national holidays and right now most of us are just happy to have a day off.
