Well if your local gurudwara did celebrate it they are going against the hukam of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji....
"Jab Lag Khalsa Rahe Niara, Tab Lag Tej Dioon Mein Sara
Jab Eh Gaye Bipran Ki Reet, Mein Na Karoon In Ki Parteet"
Bit like in India where they have a big function at Gurdwara for Massia, Punia etc even though they are not auspicious ordinary days for Sikhs.
