It is celebrated here where I am. Our local association for mentally ill arranges a May 1st party. Many people have many different ways how to celebrate it, many people go and buy some alcoholic beverages and have picnics and so on.

I still would like to have my Soviet flag back. I had gone to Moscow in 1987 before May 1st and brought back a Soviet flag, but then we had a party among students and they gave me something to drink and I passed out, but in the next morning I woke up and my flag was gone, later other students promised to return it but I have not seen it in the past 29 years, where did it go? 
It went West.

Now afterwards thinking it all sounds so funny, 1987 and 1988 was very interesting for me, within one year I traveled to Moscow, London and Paris while being a student, I recall completing some accounting course work in one hotel in Paris in the early 1988. Those were some fun times.

Because of the large hispanic community in California, many celebrate May 5th (Cinco de Mayo). Mariachi music, colorful folk dancing, and good food!

This year, the Christian Orthodox Easter falls on May 1st. People around me will celebrate, and I will probably join them even though I’m not religious.

There arent many communist countries around anymore. (Though China and Vietnam/Cuba are an exception).
Be it as it may, The Socialist movements are actually strong in different continents in small-scale - even though most of them are unorganized.
So i do believe May day does have its significance…
Andrey, are you Russian and live in USA?
Actually I am Romanian and live in Romania, haha. That’s a country in Eastern Europe. But you’re right, Russians are orthodox too.

Of course I know where Romania is. When i was not sick with schizophrenia i met a Romania girl in Spain while on vacation. Man, was she good looking. Andrey is a Russian name, isn’t it?

Oh crap, double post.
Don’t know why, May 1st is Labour Day in my country. It is not observed globally, AFAIK.
It’s a big deal in my country, there are rallies and such. Not so much parties. More of a fighting for rights thing. It’s usually cool to go to them but I’m in no mood for rallies.
My real name is Andrei (with eye, not why ) and yes, it’s also a Russian name.
so you are a dude…YES?
what difference would that make man?
