May Day

On May 1st was Copenhagen's May Day. For countries in Europe, this day is synonymous with International Worker's Day. As a way to celebrate, the city enjoys a day at Fælledparken, a local park. The day in the park isn't just a normal day where people have a BBQ with friends. Instead, the park is filled with thousands of people, food stands, several concerts, a few amusement rides, and people having a great time with friends. The day is also filled with drinking. Since the park is down the block from my housing, a few friends and I decided to go experience May Day. When we got there, we were surprised at how big of a deal this celebration was. Once we got there, we walked around and went to see the reggae band. After spending a few hours in the park, we headed back home. Another great cultural experience in Copenhagen.
