May Day, Who Celebrates it?

**AphJN** · 29-04-2005

I work in the US for a company that is just now spreading out to the International Community...We are a research firm and one thing we dont know is who celebrates the May Day tradition...I already know Moldova celebrates May Day and the Greek and Russion Orthodox celebrate it as Easter. Does the UK celebrate it with a Day off?

Does all of Europe? Thanks for you help for this dummy

We don't have May Day in Australia. We do have a public holiday for a Labour day sort of thing in March.
