Hi,
On each of the three regalim - the holidays on which we are instructed to travel to Yerushalayim - those who travelled to Yerushalayim brought special korbanot [offerings] in honor of the occasion.
For Pesach and Succot, which have week-long celebrations, those korbanot were brought during that week. Shavuot only has one biblical day of celebration - but the korbanot could still be brought for the entire week.
To mark this, the six days after Shavuot are considered a quasi-holiday. In many synagogues, the Tachanun prayer is not recited.
(Mishneh Berurah 131:36)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
