May Day is an umbrella name for certain holidays celebrated on May 1 (or in the beginning of May.) Today, May Day is best known in reference to International Workers' Day, the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago and this event's connection to a larger celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. In this context, May Day is a primary holiday for large-scale socialist, communist, and anarchist street demonstrations around the world. In most places of the world, International Workers' Day is referred to simply as Labour Day.

Separately, May Day is also a traditional pagan holiday in honor of the day celebrated in much of pre-Christian Europe, including the celebrations of Beltane in Celtic countries and Walpurgis Night in Germanic countries. Traditional celebration of these holidays faded as Europe became Christianized, but some local traditions, such as the Maypole, remain common to this day, though now usually divested of any explicit references to paganry. Many neopagans today celebrate May 1st as a holiday, and various secular traditions also occur on this day.
