Day of Spring and Labor

The Day of Spring and Labor / Праздник Весны и Труда (day off)
May 1, 2010
In 2010, the date falls on a Saturday and so May 3, a Monday, will also be a day off work.

Formerly International Worker's Solidarity Day under the old Communist system, it seems that everyone calls this one something different now. "Labor Day," "The May Holiday," and "Worker's Day" all seem to be used, but everyone at least uses the same date. It is celebrated with parades, concerts, food, and drink and traditionally kicks off the dacha season.
