CP — not quite. In most of the world May 1 is "Labo(u)r Day" or "International Workers' Day" but before that came to be, Labor Day was already established in North America, dating from 1872 in Canada and 1882 in the U.S. (It became an official national holiday—in Sept., in both countries—in 1894.) From Wikipedia:

• 1 May was chosen to be International Workers' Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. In that year beginning on 1 May, there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday. On 4 May, the police acted to disperse a public assembly in support of the strike when an unidentified person threw a bomb. The police responded by firing on the workers. The event led to the death of eight individuals, and the injury of sixty police officers as well as an unknown number of civilians. Hundreds of labour leaders and sympathizers were later rounded-up and four were executed by hanging, after a trial that was seen as a miscarriage of justice.
  
  In 1889, a meeting in Paris was held by the first congress of the Second International, following a proposal by Raymond Lavigne that called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests. May Day was formally recognized as an annual event at the International's second congress in 1891.

And of course Bill is right about the ORIGINAL original May Day (including orgies) which goes back at least as far as the Romans.

Don't forget the Bryn Mawr College tradition of dancing around the Maypole.

Early on (pre-1900), and in the traditional Welsh Calan Mai -- a pole would be erected in the enclosed courtyard -- and the young women would frolic around it naked. Oh, those bawdy BMC ladies.

May Day, one of Bryn Mawr's most beloved traditions, initially began as a fundraiser for a student's building. First held in 1900, Bryn Mawr alumna and Big May Day director Evangeline Andrews (née Walker) themed the event around the Elizabethan Era because, "the rolling hills, well-tilled fields... [and] ivy-covered buildings of Elizabethan architecture" were already evocative of the English past. Over the course of six weeks, students devoted countless hours to preparing plays, rehearsing dances, and setting up scenery around campus to create an atmosphere that was sure to delight attendants. And it did: Big May Day was so successful that it was celebrated every four to six years henceforth and even hatched Little May Day, a similar but scaled down celebration. Euretta Simons, Class of 1936, chronicled Big May Day of 1936, the ninth incarnation of the fête, in her scrapbook.

Why stop at July 4th?

When the weather's hot and sticky,
No better time to dunk the dickie;
And when the frost forms on the pumpkin
It's still great times for dickie-dunkin'.

The working class can kiss my arse
I got the foreman's job at last.
You can tell old Joe I'm off the dole
He can stick his Red Flag up his 'ole!.
