Surely you've trodden straight  To the very door! Surely you took your fate Faultlessly. Now 'tis too late  To say more.
 It is evident you were right—  That man has a course to go, A voyage to sail beyond the charted seas.  So you have passed from sight,  And our sighings blow Bark from that straight horizon which ends all one sees.
 Now, like a vessel in port,  You unlade your riches into death, And glad are the watchful dead to receive you there.  Let the dead sort  Your cargo; breath from breath Let them disencumber your bounty, let them all share.
 I imagine dead hands are brighter,  Their fingers in sunset shine With jewels of passion once broken through you as a prism.  Dead breasts are whiter  For your wrath; and yes, I opine They anoint their brows with your blood, as a perfect  chrism.
It is evident you were right-  There are bounds to break, Sumptuous passage from sight, For you, and sighs down the white  Path of your wake.
Now to the dead you've given  Your last allegiance. But woe unto us who are driven After you, hostile to heaven  And its hateful legions.

About worldbuilding: how would you say Remnant societies would develop due to the presence of Grimm?
Like for example, would there be more holidays in an effort to increase positivity and morale? Would entertainers and therapists be highly valued careers? How would places like prisons and graveyards function, since they would also act as beacons of negativity?
As a vague, general answer to your initial question: I’d argue that the presence of an apex predator that hunts people—to the exclusion of all other species—would fundamentally define the culture of that society. That is, it would be nearly impossible for any aspect of life in this world to not be shaped by Grimm in some way. Therein lies your potential for worldbuilding RWBY: imagining all the ways people would initially adapt to survive Grimm, and later, how some cultural values could emerge as more nuanced, complex extensions of those survival mechanisms.
That being said, there are some important caveats that need to be acknowledged. Let’s start by individually addressing each of your questions, and dispelling some misconceptions while we’re at it:
Holidays, festivals, and other forms of celebration:
For the pedants in the room, holidays are designated periods of time that celebrate or commemorate something important. They predominantly emerge as religious customs, although there are plenty of exceptions, like holidays centered around historical events or people (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day), or holidays that celebrate an identity or heritage (Pride Month, Indigenous People’s Day).
The important takeaway is that there’s a reason why these things are celebrated, and that’s because the beliefs, people, or events they commemorate have value to those that celebrate them. They exist as outgrowths of something that was already widely-recognized as having worth.
By contrast, a holiday that’s deliberately created as a conscious choice—as a countermeasure to negativity, and by extension, Grimm—wouldn’t have the same impact. Artificially making a holiday for the sake of would probably have the opposite effect.
Imagine, for a moment, that you work a minimum-wage job at a fast-food joint. Your building is understaffed because your corporate overlords would rather exploit their current workforce than shill out money to hire additional staff, which means that you’re often forced to carry the workload of two people. This exploitation is made worse by the fact that your contract only guarantees 29 hours per week, which means that they don’t have to offer you benefits or insurance, but they can (and frequently do) ask you to work beyond those hours. If someone calls out for any reason, you and your coworkers have to make up for that difference, and more often than not, end up being forced to stay later than necessary. That’s not even factoring in other issues, like a lack of resources necessary for performing your job, aggressive or entitled customers, and the repetitive, backbreaking monotony of your work.
Imagine how miserable you and all of your coworkers are.
Now, the managers aren’t oblivious to how unhappy their employees are. But rather than enact widespread policy changes that would improve the quality of their working conditions, they decide to hold a monthly staff party to “boost employee morale.”
Rather than distract them, it only serves to remind everyone of all the ways their managers could not give a shit about them, and how much their jobs suck.
In my mind, any holiday created for the sake of would be markedly similar. Instead of increasing the net positivity of your population, it would probably only heighten everyone’s awareness of the Grimm and foster feelings of anxiety. “Hey, everyone, remember that we have to be extra positive today! Don’t think about the fact that our government threw a dart at a calendar and decided to make today all about being happy, because the alternative is being sad and getting eaten alive by monsters. :)”
Putting in the effort to be positive for the sake of being positive, rather than genuinely celebrating something that has meaning, is like the monthly staff party. It’s just painting over the cracks.
So I can’t envision any realistic scenario in RWBY where a holiday is created with that purpose in mind. In theory, it has the trappings of legitimacy, but in practice it wouldn’t pan out.
That being said, there are still plenty of workarounds to this problem. We can easily come up with festivities that incorporate or acknowledge Grimm, which might have naturally evolved over time:
Example 1: A holiday that falls on the date that a famous warrior slew a King Taijitu that was threatening a town. What makes this defeat so noteworthy was that the warrior was disarmed during the fight, and so they cleverly tricked the heads into attacking each other in order to win. As a result, the townsfolk immortalized the warrior, and began to value cunning rather than brute strength. On this holiday, children are encouraged to play tricks on each other, as a way of symbolically recreating the warrior’s own trickery. Throughout the day, people go out of their way to spend time together—time that was given to them because of the warrior’s selflessness. The town holds an elaborate community feast in the evening, and to finish off the night, a group of actors puts on a small play that reenacts the battle. And there you have it—a holiday which began because a Grimm was killed, and over time, it evolved to not only commemorate the warrior, but by extension came to embody and honor the values of community, altruism, and cunning.
Example 2: A holiday that celebrates a minor deity responsible for warding off Grimm. This deity is associated with fire, divine protection, and strength of arms, so people who celebrate this day will often symbolically gift each other things like daggers, a quiver full of arrows, or armor. (Perhaps in future generations, these gifts change to fit the times. So instead of being given an arrow, the recipient might be given a necklace with an arrowhead pendant, or a batch of cookies baked to resemble swords instead of an actual sword.) Worshippers of this deity might spend the week leading up to the holiday building effigies that resemble Grimm, and during the actual celebration, burn the effigy as an offering to the deity. Perhaps this holiday incorporates a coming-of-age ceremony, where the priest/sage/religious authority takes those who turned [age] that year on a hunt to kill a Grimm, and afterward, they return to their community as adults/warriors. This example holiday manages to tie in Grimm with a local religion, and establishes believable liturgical traditions.
Ultimately, I think the big takeaway is that holidays will naturally evolve regardless, so it wouldn’t be necessary for societies to create holidays with the specific intention as anti-Grimm measures.
Hopefully that managed to answer your question regarding the Grimm’s influence on holidays. Now, as for your other two questions—occupations and negativity hotspots—I’m going to put them under a readmore, because this is starting to get rather long.
