What is this Holiday for?
This is a fun holiday that is meant to celebrate the stereotyped Hillbilly. Individuals, groups and organizations plan parties and outdoor festivals with a hillbilly theme in order to have some good innocent down home fun. Fairs and festivials are set up to make money for needed causes and many times "Hillbilly Days" are not necessarely celebrated on July 4th but can be celebrated any time during the year. When this happens it is called "Hillbilly Days" instead of "Hillbilly Day." A good example of that is this one put on by the Shriners. Shriners have faithfully journeyed from all over the United States and Canada to help crippled children.

Definition of the term Hillbilly
Hillbilly is a term referring to people who dwell in remote, rural, mountainous areas. In particular the term refers to residents of Appalachia and later the Ozarks in the United States. Usage of the term "Hillbilly" generally differs from other terms referring to rural people in the United States in that it can be used for mountain dwelling people anywhere but is generally not used to refer to rural people in non-mountainous areas. A Hillbilly is not the same thing as a redneck and cracker even though it is often verbalized as such. Hillbillies theoretically are merely isolated from the dominant culture and live a different way of live.
