Mormons don't really have any ''special'' celebrations that some other religions do. They have the same celebrations that most people do like the 4th of July, Easter, Christmas, birthdays, etc. But, once a month(usually the first Sunday of the month), they have a fast--just so you know fasting is when you do not eat. They do not eat breakfast or lunch and end their fast by eating dinner. They give the money that would have been spent on food for the breakfast and lunch to the church as a fast offering.

Catholics are not the only denomination who observes Lent, so it is conceivable that some Mormons would observe Lent (as many Lutherans, Methodists, and Anglicans do). However, most Mormons do not observe Lent, although they do celebrate Easter.
