Hell, all three of the major DX contests that are CW only are usually on 
holiday weekends (USA):

ARRL DX - presidents day weekend
WPX - memorial day weekend
CQWW - thanksgiving


Interestingly this year, owing to the calendar shifts, CQWW CW is the 
weekend before thanksgiving - something that happens once every 8 to 10 
years.
