Hello reddit!

Me and my partner are travelling from Xi’an to Beijing tomorrow, and will stay in Beijing from 30th og april to the 5th of may. This is highly planned as we wanted to experience International workers day there.

However, we have struggled to find information about what to see and how the day is celebrated. In Norway there usually is parades, concerts etc, and many dress nicely and will greet each other during the day. There are of course also many that stay home and relax on their day off.

So we wonder:

- Are there any festivities the 1st of may? Parades, concerts and such?

- Should we dress up?

- Does people usually care about the day, or is or just considered free time/time off work?

Thanks in advance!
