Does anyone know about any indulgences you can earn on the feast day of your confirmation saint?

I haven’t heard of any but I would suggest you celebrate by going to the Sacrament of Confession and then Mass. Ask the priest if you can be included in the prayers of the people???

As far as I know, there is no special indulgence for feast day of confirmation saint. I did a search through the current Manual of Indulgences to make sure.
However, on a saint’s feast day, you can get a plenary indulgence by going to a church named after that saint, saying one Our Father and the Creed while in the church, and fulfilling the other conditions needed for a plenary.
Also, on any saint’s feast day, you can get a partial indulgence by piously saying the collect prayer for the saint (the prayer in the Missal) or any other prayer in honor of the Saint that is “approved by legitimate authority”. A lot of the saint collect prayers can be found either on CatholicCulture.org in the Liturgical Year section, or on the Liturgialatina.org blog (which follows the old Tridentine calendar). Or you can look in your own missal or sometimes in the missal provided by the Church (doesn’t always have the daily collect prayers).
Current manual of indulgences is here so you can pick some other indulgence to get if you want.

Yeah, it’s usually about 2 sentences long and reads something like, "Grant , O Lord, that as we honor St. So-and-so today, we might learn from their example/ imitate them/ be like them in some way. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

I found this site that has the daily Collect prayer, in the right sidebar:Yeah, it’s usually about 2 sentences long and reads something like, "Grant , O Lord, that as we honor St. So-and-so today, we might learn from their example/ imitate them/ be like them in some way.
