Labour Day is marked by numerous processions by organised labour groups all over the country. These are not necessarily protests, though they can be. For the most part, these events are festive and intended primarily for recreation. However, protests in the centres of major cities are not uncommon on Labour Day in Senegal.
Children will take part in various competitions organised for them. They get out of school for the day and indulge in a veritable “funfest”. Thus, on the whole, kids in Senegal look forward to Labour Day with more enthusiasm even than adults.
