About May Day
May Day has dual historical roots: it is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival celebrating the return of flora and fauna, and it is also International Workers' Day. The labor observance commemorates the historic struggles and gains made by workers and the labor movement, specifically tied to the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago.
Is May Day a Public Holiday?
Yes, it is a major public holiday in numerous countries across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. However, it is not a federal holiday in the United States, which celebrates Labor Day in September instead.
How May Day Is Traditionally Observed
Spring traditions involve dancing around a Maypole and crowning a May Queen. Labor observances feature large-scale marches, protests, and rallies organized by trade unions.
