May Day parade
Workers' holiday procession
A May Day parade is a public procession held on May 1st.
In communist and socialist countries, these parades traditionally showcased military strength and workers' solidarity, with troops, tanks, and labor unions marching through city centers: The Soviet May Day parade in Red Square was an annual display of military might.
In other contexts, May Day parades celebrate spring with folk dancing and flower-decorated floats.
