Labour Day

Labour Day, celebrated on **May 1st**, is a public holiday in Luxembourg, as in many other countries around the world. Known as **"Dag vun der Aarbecht"** in Luxembourgish, it is a day dedicated to honoring workers and their contributions to society. The holiday has its roots in the international labor movement, which advocated for workers' rights, fair wages, and better working conditions. In Luxembourg, Labour Day is marked by various events, including parades, speeches, and gatherings organized by trade unions and workers' associations. These events often emphasize solidarity, social justice, and the importance of workers' rights. Many people also take the opportunity to relax and spend time with family and friends, as most businesses and government offices are closed for the day. The holiday serves as a reminder of the progress made in labor rights and the ongoing efforts to ensure fair treatment and equality in the workplace. It is a day of both celebration and reflection, highlighting the value of work and the importance of protecting workers' well-being.
