*August 3    Iceland's Commerce Day.  Commerce Day is a unique Icelandic holiday originally dedicated to the merchants of Iceland, though now it's a public holiday everyone can enjoy.  It originated in 1894 when the merchants of all the major shops in Reykjavik offered to give their employees a day off to have fun. From 1931 on, it was decided that this public holiday would fall on the first Monday of August, giving people a nice three-day weekend in summer.  

*August 8    Sweden's Name day of the Queen Drottningens

*August 19  Norway's HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit was born on August 19, 1973, and her birthday is celebrated by flying the Norwegian flag.
