Hi all--my fiance and I will be on our honeymoon in the Cinque Terre on May 1st. We understand it's a holiday; is there anything we should be aware of / or be looking forward to while in the area for the holiday? We will be based in Manarola.

Julie, I'm assuming you already have your accommodations booked in Manarola for May 1st?

Yes, we've been booked since December I think. I just reconfirmed all of our honeymoon reservations this week.

I was in Cinque Terre several years ago on May 1st. I recall it was similar to Labor Day in the US. A lot of locals were out having fun, enjoying the day, etc. Businesses were open. It was not like Christmas Day when everything is shut down. I do not remember any big festivals.
