May Day Rally

Edinburgh Tradfest 2026

(Sat 2 May: 11:30am)

Fighting for peace, solidarity, social justice, a sustainable future and an end to all forms of oppression! Meeting at Johnston Terrace at 11:30am.

In the year marking a century since the British General Strike of 1926, hear about the strike and how it is still relevant to us today from labour historian Ewan Gibbs.

The City of Edinburgh Unison Pipe Band will then lead the march followed by trade union contingents, then the Stockbridge Pipe Band and campaign groups down to the Pleasance for campaign stalls and café. The rally starts upstairs at 1pm.
