This study deals with celebrations of Labour Day in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Despite the fact that public celebrations of 1 May were forbidden in the Protectorate, it remained a public holiday and attracted a significant media coverage. This study examines the aspects of regulations and laws and their implementation in practice and analyses the way in which Labour Day was re-defined during the Protectorate era, focusing on ways of orchestration of the festive day, including continuity with the preceding models and patterns.
