is occuring on May 1st and is synonymous with 'International Workers Day' or 'Labour Day', which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labour movement.
In acient times known as 'Walpurgis Night' men celebrated the beginning of the warmer season. Today both are combiened:
Usually there are lots of partys on April, 30th and then there are manifestations and different kinds of events on the 1st.
In my area the 'Ruhr Festivals' start in May and the 1st is the official opening day.
So today there are lots of activities outside - bands, varietee, some manifestations or demonstrations - peacefully ones.
I confess, not having done anything today but watching films and take care of my new budgie. But I savorred the non-working day!
