No there is no special day for the Eiffel tower
No, the Eiffel Tower was not built to celebrate Bastille Day. It was constructed for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) held in Paris to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, which began with the storming of the Bastille. The tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and was initially intended to be a temporary structure.

The use of puddled iron (sort of wrought iron) was very daring and innovative at the time the Eiffel tower was designed. A building of the same high cannot be built with stone, as the bottom woud crush under the weight of the construction. The calculations Eiffel made about the material, as the movements of the tower because of the metal dilating due of the heat of the sun, are proved right and nearly perfectly accurate to this day.

Eiffel tower was mainly built for the international exhibition but there were some other reasons too. It was built because that date was the celebration of hundred years of French revolution. People and higher officials of France wanted to celebrate this day by making France more beautiful. It became one of the most beautiful buildings of not only France but also the world. It was also taken as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Another reason for which the tower was built was the advancement in the field of science. Because the Eiffel tower was tall it could be used for the experiments of temperature, pressure and radio telegraphy. The last reason for the Eiffel tower to be built was to create history that will also glorify the exhibition. In those times it was the tallest building all over the planet and its design was very helpful in creating and constructing other buildings in France. Actually it was purposed that tower is to be constructed in Barcelona for the world exhibition to be held at 1888. But the officials of that city did not take any interest in it and thought it was an expensive project. After that Paris agreed for the construction of tower and it became the entrance mark for the exposition.
