Thousands gather to mark "May Day without Communism" - 02-05-2006 - Radio Prague
For over forty years, May Day meant only one thing for the people of Prague. The Communist party organised mass parades on Letna Plain, a big open park near the castle, to mark Labour Day. This year, thousands of people once again gathered there for the celebration, but for quite a different reason. For the first time the main parade of the now much diminished Communist Party took place elsewhere in the Czech capital, and around 9000 people attended a rally named "May Day without Communism for Ever" in its place.

Another way to celebrate the time of fertility and international labor. Of course, if you don't speak Czech, this picture will be hard to distinguish from those of 20 years ago:
