Not in the political sense ...

Response to Do Brits celebrate May Day?

 

Judy,

But over here we have a May bank holiday - a bank holiday is when everything closes. Where I used to live, in North Ealing, we used to have a May Day parade, where the maypole was ceremoniously led through the streets by the 'May Queen' dressed in virginal white, led by Jack O'the Green. All very priapic. I don't know how much of that sort of stuff still goes on here, though.

I expect in some rural areas there is still morris dancing and lots of consumption of beer.

Now tell me about the US ...

Happy May Day.
