Labour Day

The first Friday in June when Bahamian workers march through Nassau with union banners, brass bands, and a deep pride in the struggles that built the nation. The parade winds through downtown and ends with speeches, food, and a whole lot of storytelling about the old labor movement. After the formalities, it is a cookout, a beach day, and a reminder that every right on the books came from somebody who stood up first.

Den Russkogo Yazyka

The birthday of Alexander Pushkin, the national poet of Russia, and it is celebrated with poetry readings, concerts, and the tradition of reciting Pushkin's poems from memory. Pushkin is called "the father of Russian literature," and his birthday is a national holiday. The tradition is to read his poems, drink champagne, and toast: "Za Pushkina!" (To Pushkin!). Every Russian schoolchild can recite at least a few lines of Eugene Onegin, and the day is marked by literary gatherings from Moscow to Vladivostok.
