Labour Day 2022, 2023 and 2024 in Cuba

May Day, or Labour Day, is a day of massive celebrations in Cuba. Havana, in particular, sees a huge May Day parade attended by around a million people every year. Labour Day is celebrated on 1 May like most other nations.

On 1 May, workers from all over Cuba gather in Havana’s Revolution Square for special concerts and celebratory events. A colourful parade, strewn with waving Cuban flags, pictures of Fidel Castro, and masses of marchers dressed in red, moves down the street. But the highlight of it all is the annual May Day speech, originally always given by Fidel Castro before his death and now given by Raul or another government leader.
