That's today right? And lotus day is a celebration in buddhism, is it not? If not, what are the buddhist celebrations?

I believe you are speaking about White Lotus Day...

White Lotus Day is a celebration of the group known as the Theosophists. It's celebrated 8th May, the anniversary of the passing of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society. White Lotus Day is a celebration that encourages meditation about the metaphor of the lotus. The lotus is born under the mud, growing through the water to achieve the surface, and therefore the air and the light of sun. This growth is identified with man's life, born in earth but desiring the elevation to the air; representing his middle stage between animals and god. The seed of lotus contain (even before they germinate) perfectly formed leaves, a miniature shape of what they would become. This flower is often present in eastern religions, which influence is key in the Theosophical Movement.

The primary celebration of Buddhism is Vesak, which celebrates the birth, enlightment, and death of Buddha.

It depend on what kind of Buddhist you are.
