May Day has competed with Labor Day as a workers' holiday in the United States from the late nineteenth century. Both celebrations have deep roots in the struggle for the eight hour day in the 1880s, though May Day's origins go back to European agricultural spring festivals. Most of the images here are from New York City, where Union Square played a central role for both holidays.
