Party in the Park!

Today is the first of May, which is a big deal here in Copenhagen because it is International Workers' Day. The holiday celebrates the past victories of worker's movements and current labor unions and political parties. Every year, between 50,000 and 100,000 Danes go to a massive park called Fælledparken to celebrate. There were a bunch of different stages and tents where concerts were held and political speeches were made. There was also little food trucks and tents everywhere and a carnival with rides for families. The park was completely packed with Danes around my age just hanging out with friends, enjoying the sunshine and drinking excessive amounts of Tuborg and Carlsberg. It was a great atmosphere and a very fun day!
