If you are asking about Columbus Day, he did not celebrate it. He could not. It did not become a holiday until hundreds of years after he died.

Franklin D Roosevelt was the President that officially proclaimed Columbus Day to be a national holiday in 1937, though there is record that Benjamin Harrison recognized the day as cause for celebration on the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing (in the Bahamas) in 1892.Additionally, it was President Richard Nixon who, in 1971, changed the date of the holiday from October 12th to the "second Monday of October."
