If the celebration of this day is repeated every year, then it becomes an Eid. Eid is derived from the word "عود" (to return), meaning recurrence. There are two Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Muslims have no Eid other than these two. Therefore, it is not permissible to celebrate this day, given what has been established: that the Eids of Muslims are restricted to these two days.
