May 1st celebrations in Odense

M ayday - also known as International Workers Day - (or Arbejdernes Kampdag) is not something I've ever really participated in or celebrated.

In Denmark though - it can be pretty big. Especially if you are on the side of the political scale known as red/socialist/left wing. And there are alot more of those people in Denmark than in, say, the United States.

Last year I joined my boyfriend at Ansgar park for some of the celebrations, but because of rain and bad weather we only made it in time to make some rounds at a few of the tents.

This year the weather was perfect for it, but we never made it further than a walk around the nearby parks and through part of town. We did get to suck in a little bit of the atmosphere though:
